Can a Tax Assessor enter my property to measure my home?

He never even bothered. The house is over 100 years old. My taxes went down. I just don't like the idea of agents entering my property to measure the outside of my home when I am perfectly able to measure it myself. Doesn't the assessor trust me? I guess in this country one is guilty until proven innocent. Hmmm

What happened to being self reliant? Why do we have to rely on the government to do everything for us.

As president J.F. Kennedy said, " Its not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

That is what family, friends, and neighbors are for. I am perfectly capable of volunteering to fix or plow my own road, dispose of my own garbage, using solar and wind power to produce energy, pump my own water, raise my own food, and use wood to heat my home.

Gee, you must have a lot of time on your hands. I do almost everything on your list, I could be called a homesteader in the modern sense. We are close to being off grid, and at times, have grown about 40% of our food. Plus I've started food pantries, voluntary simplicity workshops and literacy volunteer classes. I also own my own business. However, I have no desire (or time) to fix the pot holes on community roads, build bridges or remove long dead road kill. I want my tax money to go for that, and in doing so I help employ my fellow Americans. Most of my neighbors don't give a crap about their country - other than to complain about it. If you think the common man should take care of his country, just because it's the right thing to do, I suggest you go help out groups like Habitat for Humanity and Planned Parenthood. I have. The government is not composed of Martians, but rather the people who represent us and our needs. If America has been taken over by corporate lobbyists it's our own damn fault and we should demand a change. I see paying taxes as investment in the future of America, so get off your high horse, Lawabider.

...and if you do not pay your property taxes the government will come to your home with guns drawn and kill you if you resist eviction. This is not the free country our forefathers envisioned.

c'mon now...you've been rantin on 2 threads and it's gettin tedious.
Show me a news item where someone didn't pay property taxes and the county came after them with guns drawn.
I guess if you resist eviction with an Ak47 you're gonna get your ass shot...is that what you mean by a free country?...free to do stupid stuff?
