[QUOTE="Allen, post: 205137, member: 389"] Bada bing! You have hit the nail on the head there. Property taxes are not the root of the evil, it is the budgets for the respective city/county departments that drive the property tax. This is what so many people don't actually get. To end up with lower property taxes for all, show up at the county commission meetings and make your voices heard on the budgets, don't wait until you get the bill for services rendered (basically contracted for the coming year) to complain. Valuations and/or mill levies can go up or down in any given year. The tax assessor is theoretically just supposed to spread the hurt over the county/city population based on the total value of property in that area. The concept is relatively simple, but hard to do because of lagging assessments, hurt feelers, etc. We all think our neighbor should pay more and we should pay less, that's just human. [/QUOTE]
