What a pain in the ass.
Around here, they like to pee on us and tell us it's raining.
"We're lowing property tax rates! Aren't we wonderful!"
*government lowers the tax rate a hundredth of a percentage point*
*then government raises the assessed value of each home by 5%, causing the actual tax owed to go up by $500.*
Rinse and repeat, year after year.
Obviously, I'm making these numbers up for illustrative purposes, but they are very close to the truth.
