Doing 30 Appraisals to fight tax assesment

Iam at the opinion that my appraisals do NOT conform with USPAP standards, what type of comment can I add to the appraisal that this is for consulting purpose only and not an estimate of value... so the assessor cant refer my appraisal to the State Appraisal Board
