Hi,
I live in Northern NJ, in my neighborhood, most houses have natural gas, either as built, or converted, and all new construction has natural gas.
Unfortunately, my street does not have natural gas, and my house, built in 1976 burns heating oil, and I believe, more significantly, has an electric range for cooking and electric dryer for drying clothes.
Our town recently had a town-wide reappraisal, and I believe that the appraisers have not taken in to account the negative impact that my house burns heating oil and has an electric range and dryer.
I went to a meeting with the appraisers and pointed this fact out to them, but just received in the mail notice that they would not be lowering their appraisal.
I have scoured the internet, and to date, have been unsuccessful in finding anything that would buttress my argument that a house that burns heating oil with electric range and dryer is much less valuable than a similar house with natural gas and natural gas-burning appliances.
Would anyone be able to point me to a study or analysis that I could use to support my argument?
Thank you in advance,
Herman
