Yeah. We just got notice of yet another Reval. They're paying a consultant to do it. What does the assessor's office do all day? They always claim they will finish the reassessment and lower the marginal rate so as to keep total taxes the same.
Somehow the part about lowering the marginal rate never comes off, and they spend spend spend the resulting windfall.

You are not alone. Some friends of mine have had their family farm farm reappraised at the same rate as the Big Box mall down the road. They're hosed. No way they can pay the property taxes. The County might has well have just seized the land. This is a 260 acre farm that has been in the family since before the civil war.
