Do I have to let the county appraiser come into my house or onto my property?

No, in fact, it is generally not necessary for an appraiser to view the interior of every home that has been appraised previously. If access is refused, the appraiser must estimate the value of the property using whatever information he or she has available. Typically it is advantageous to the taxpayer to allow interior inspection. (RCW 84.40.025)
