Got my assessment today taxable value went up 1.05 percent reason why is the 1.05 is the inflation multiplier Really!!!

Rip off here

Up 3% minimum every year

Over $4000 last year

My house value according to the county went up $50,000 this year. Bringing it to a grand total value of near $200,000. We paid $52,000 for the place in 2013. I don't know about inflation, but the county assessor must have stopped at the bar for lunch before he came to my house.

We also owe money on income taxes this year (over $2,000). I have claimed 0 my entire working career and never ever owed a penny ever. I guess I will have to cut back on my lavish style of living to pay more taxes so others can sit at home.

My property taxes went from slightly under $1200.00 per half to over $1440.00 per half. It's around $520.00 more for the year than last year, which is a huge increase. I just paid them last week on the 27th.

Yes I understand the state evaluation and subsequent raises just don't recall seeing an inflation multiplier before maybe bryce will set me straight on this

They really should send out a packet or two with your property tax bills. link

Mre like a 5 gal. pail

Mine went up 18% again! If someone came along with something even CLOSE to appraised value, they would own it! They have my old shack valued at $350k.

I've seen some contest their valuation and get the taxes lowered

I always figured it would backfire on me

I have contested my valuation every time they raise it. Usually lower it a bit but not much. At least with a mugger you got a chance. With government theft you dont have many options

I doubt I can set anyone else's assessments straight but for me I have our main home which has an estimated FMV of 141K and is assessed at 108K. Our 2nd home is assessed at 30 K and has a FMV of 33.3K Taxes are 1604 and 500 respectively. We did not have an inflation adjustment figure but our FMV of our main home did rise about 15K, but almost all residential properties did so the mil rates went down and overall taxes did not rise as much, but could be setup for future years if values stay up.

As to big raises in property tax? Property tax is a state and local issue and assessments are asked for and paid by local units of government to secure a taxable base and help determine mil rates etc. So being that local there could be many ways each local unit of government deals with establishing values and rates and when the changes or assessments are done. Some of you or other local units could have had assessments completed during the time when many houses were selling for as much as 20% over asking price a year ago or so. If you get caught up in something like your FMV could rise a lot. How the mil rates get set to bring in the budget money is the real deal when values are going up rapidly.

Doorbell rings the other day and I didn’t answer. I see a guy wandering around my property and I go outside to ask him what he’s doing. He says he’s the assessor and was measuring my fur shed…I ask if he gets shot at very often wandering around people’s property unannounced!

way too high.

over $500/month

They have to do assessments from a public right of way here unless you give them permission to enter your property. I think now they have drones they take with them.

Wisconsin is high property tax the roads are crap to many pot holes not enough of patches.

they patch my road all the time cause the patches only last about 2-3 weeks before they are gone and need patching again.

We bought our home about 5 years ago for around 150k. The current assessed value is 240k, up 60k this year. Our actual taxes went up 22%. I'm with Patfundine, I'd sell at the drop of a hat if the offer was on the table! Quit my job and live off the state til you suckers run out of money!

Property taxes in southeast PA are sickening. A modest two-story home built within the last fifteen or twenty years in my area will get you an annual real estate tax of over $10,000.00, sometimes way over.

You never really own your home. Even after the mortgage is paid you have to keep paying those taxes. If you don't the sheriffs will come and take your home from you and sell it.

You have to remember President Hair Sniffer even claimed that all of you Billionaires are going to pay!!! UNLESS YOU ARE HIM!!!
