Inspecting Town

We received a letter from the town today saying they hired some company to come inspect the interior of our home. We have to wait until next week and then only have 2 days to call them to schedule an appointment. My state is the only place I have lived in - around the US and the world -  that does this (they come inspect your house: how many rooms, how livable it is, etc. and then raise your taxes based on that inspection.) So much for less government intrusion state.
