Dude, you can't tell a bank that a property is worth $1.5B and then say it's only worth $400M on your taxes. That's illegal as frick.

Every homeowner does this. Every house in Atlanta is appraised below market value for tax purposes. The mil rate is the mil rate. The game is to manipulate the appraisals and therefore the assessment in order to ratchet up the taxes at a pace that doesn’t cause a revolt.

Of course, Mar-a-Lago isn’t a home. It’s some kind of club with weird deed restrictions.
