Illinois appraiser not liable for overstating home’s square footage
|
An appraiser retained by a local tax review board had no liability to a homeowner for overstating a home’s square footage by more than 6,000 feet, an Illinois appellate court has ruled.
However, the Illinois Appellate Court (Third District) rejected the appraiser’s demand for sanctions against the homeowner for pursuing the professional malpractice lawsuit on appeal.
The case is Heyde v. Glassey (No. 400002).
The plaintiff, Raymond Heyde, bought a single-family home in Tazewell County, Ill., in 2000. Every year starting in 2003, Heyde had objected to his Tazewell County property tax assessments. In 2008, the Tazewell County Property Tax Review Board hired defendant Bradley Glassey, a residential appraiser, to provide a valuation on Heyde’s home.
