“I just looked at my property assessment and it went way up, way more than what I think selling cost is,” someone wrote on a Facebook group this week. “So I assume taxes will jump again.”
And someone else:
“No way my house increased in value by $70,000 in the last year. This is a flat-out tax grab.”
No. And no.
Every year when assessments come out, some people complain about how it’s not fair they will have to pay more property taxes.
