I don't like the idea of the government coming into ones home to do a so called inspection on any type would be violating ones privacy.

I'm pretty sure you can refuse their request to inspect the interior of your house...especially if the outside dimensions are the same as what they have on record. Just tell them no changes have been made on the interior.

They can Assess the value of your house by the outside and by any permits filed with the town. You can refuse, unless your filing an abatement. Be Polite and just let them know that you didn't file any permits for improvements (increase sq, etc). Laws vary by state but I never had a problem with them when I refused.
