Fishy,
In my case in Moultonboro the appraiser had just taken the outside measurements of the house and guessed what was inside. I went to a "hearing" that they were having after they had mailed out the new assessment armed with my own inside measurements, sketches and pictures. The gentleman redid the appraisal on the spot, I received a corrected assessment in the mail a month later. If you have not done so yet, I would get a copy of what the assessor is using to value the property and make sure that all the information is correct, square footage, finished vs. unfinished and so on. In my experience this is where you will probably have the best luck. As far as comparables go someone else should be able to answer that question.
