Video by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Read MPAC's homeowner guidance or watch on YouTube.

An MPAC property inspection is about the facts used in your assessment, not the condition check a buyer orders before purchasing. In this short video, MPAC explains why an inspector might visit and what they may verify: lot information, structures such as garages or pools, and sometimes details inside the home. MPAC says its inspectors identify themselves and explain the visit. If you're buying a property, my separate home-inspection guide covers the buyer's side of due diligence.
