while it is semantics in our discussion (you and me) I would expect a person in Florida to use the proper term for the office they contacted. In my state we have assessors so I would typically use assessor when speaking of issues in my state and maybe mistakenly use it when speaking of another state. If I lived in a state that does not have an assessors office but an appraisers office I would tend to use the term appraiser especially when speaking of issues in that state. The op using the term assessor suggests they are not in fact in Florida or at best are recently new residents of Florida.
I would go along with that (it's assessor in my state, too) for the must part but I might cut a Florida resident a little slack because Florida residents are too often recent transplants from other states or part time residents in Florida with homes in other states and it is an easy slip to make.
