Damage from flood, fire, or other catastrophe may qualify for relief if it reduces market value, typically exceeds a minimum percentage of value, and the property isn't fully repaired before review. Required documentation: insurance reports, contractor repair estimates, photos, and inspection reports. A Certificate of Error or disaster reassessment may apply.
