Property Tax Hell

March 4th, 2006 at 01:48 am

Today I received in the mail evil twin of that sweet gal Ms. Housing Appreciation.

No, Ms. Tax Bill didn't arrive, but her friend Mrs. Real Estate Appraisal came. It seems my previous appraisal was a little low (actually I knew that, but I thought the system was jiggered that way). Well it came roaring back with about a 40% increase from last year. Yeah, the tax rates here are being lowered, but that ain't nearly going to compensate for this number. Live by the sword, and die by the sword I suppose.

Hopefully next time I will write something more interesting, I have too much to do tonight.

    My sympathies...we were revalued last fall. The house appraised at double what we bought it ten years ago (which is great, except we're not planning on selling anytime soon!). We heard that the rate will go down, but like you, it's not going to make up for the increase. We need to wait until July to find out the damage...
