When was it last assessed. You are getting accessed value and appraised value confused. Your taxes are based on the assessed value of your home, not the appraised value. If it was finished after it was last assessed then they may not have the current assessment of your home. My house was never assessed for the 4th bedroom in the lower level until this year and yes, my assessment went up.
