Homeowners May Appeal Road Home Assessments

5:54 a.m. CST December 20, 2006
BATON ROUGE, La. - If you believe your Road Home assessment is less than it
should be a late-night meeting could mean more money for you. The Louisiana
Recovery Authority, lawmakers and Gov. Kathleen Blanco will now allow
homeowners to appeal how much money they can get from the plan.

Officials said homeowners could actually receive some of their money even
during an appeal.

The LRA will now calculate the pre-storm fair market value of a home based
on either a recent appraisal, the federal financing database or old
appraiser archives.

Recipients can also appeal evaluations.

The new approach should more correctly assess the pre-storm value of homes.
