I live in W-B. My taxes went up about $900.00, but, In all honesty, I think my assessment was fair or close to it. I say this because I had my home assessed about two years ago at $85,000 (for home owners insurance purposes), and I just recently got my county assessment, and it was for $88,000. so, they were only off the mark $3,000, and I recently added a 24'/8' deck out back (after the assessment shhhh! don't snitch on me!) so I can't complain, but I did hear that Harvey's Lake and The Back Mountain got clobbered, and I fell sorry for everyone that might be burdened by this re-assessment (if is does stand). With this stagnate economy, and very low paying jobs around here, I don't think it's fair to try to take even one more dollar off of the citizens. All I can say is FIGHT THE MAN!!! keep protesting and making a very loud stink about it, and maybe it'll be overturned, just don't give up. |
