Because they need to tax the crap out of you to buy military grade weaponry and sports cars for the police department, million dollar displays for the football stadium, and an iPad or every student so they can hate you later and elect a “cool” president that will give your country away to foreign interests for a price...
They find 5 properties similar to yours inyourarea that have sold r3centky and set a value based on similar recentmaret sales. Many people have seen assessments go down the last few years.
