Outcome
A homeowner appealing a house assessed at $481,500 says he used ChatGPT to organise a 3-page hearing script and build three evidence packets (for himself, the Board and the Assessor) from comparable sales, repair quotes and listings. After presenting about 40 pages of evidence, he settled at $422,000, which he says lowers his bill by about $300–$500/year; the whole effort took about 6 hours.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to. Goal: Organise my property tax appeal into a short hearing script and clear evidence packets. Fill in before running: - Assessment notice and appeal deadline: [ATTACH] - Comparable sales I found: [LIST] - Repair quotes and photos: [ATTACH] - Value I'm asking for and a fallback: [AMOUNTS] Rules: - Structure the packet: cover, contents, county comps, my comps, condition evidence, listings, tax impact. - Write a polite 60–90 second hearing script using only my evidence. - Explain adjustments between my home and each comp in plain words. - Remind me of the filing deadline and how many copies to bring. - If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me. - Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. Output: A packet outline with exhibit order and a short script. You'll know it worked when: I file before the deadline and present a clear, organized case.

- Prepare and file a property tax grievance on deadline day, between meetings, with Claude Cowork (partial)Evidence: Described by posterPartial
Wes Pomeroy's town assessment had nearly doubled since they bought the house eight or nine years earlier, and they realised the last day to challenge it was that day. Using Claude Cowork connected to Gmail, Google Drive and Chrome, they first asked about the official rules and deadline, which turned up that a mailed form wouldn't count: it had to be handed in in person by 9 PM. Claude found an old broker appraisal, the assessor's email about a renovation and the addition's square footage, and cut a weak argument about crime risk that had no data behind it. It filled the official form, drafted a cover letter, built a comparison page and a labelled photo exhibit and merged them into one file. Pomeroy says the first pass was about 65% right and corrected it several times. Both owners signed and the packet was stamped at the assessor's office before the deadline. The post doesn't give a result yet.

Vinkler gave ChatGPT the correspondence and their childhood records, then spent several days going back and forth, adding PFA's guidelines, asking for different drafts and fact-checking everything before their mother and a colleague read it. About a month after Vinkler sent it, PFA called to say it would cover the assessment. PFA confirmed to TV 2 that the complaint led it to look again.
