[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 205098, member: 337"] this is common I suspect - and it happened to me in mid 90s when I moved into a little city north of Fargo we got news that the county wanted more tax. So the guy I bought the house from was the city's assessor. He DOUBLED mine and two others that had been recently purchased, and added a few percent (in appraised value) to the other homes. This allowed him to hit Cass County's quota and let his friends - the old school residents - slide by. I asked him about it and he said "hey, you paid that much didn't you? The others only paid half that." Yeah buddy... in 1976 or whatever. I told him that's not how this works... that's not how any of this works. I got steaming mad and made a bit of a fuss. I was on a rampage and I told the county and the city and the assessor that I would hire a lawyer and call the local news before I got stuck making up everyone else's decades old sweet deal they had going. The guy I bought the house from retired from assessing that very week, the city hired a new one, and everyone got assessed from the ground up. I was not popular for a while. And I did not care one bit. Eff crap like this. Make a stink. Call Valley News Live "fraud report" or whatever their investigative team is. Don't stop until you are satisfied. Contact others who have recently purchased and probably also have seen doubling - they are your allies. Godspeed! [/QUOTE]
