I dont know why you people are upset that your tax assesment went down. You knew that if your tax assesment went down, they were just going to hike the tax rate to make up for it...which they did, and it washes.

If you have a buyer looking at your property and they go off the tax assesment as a guide to a purchase price they dont know what they are doing. I have been in real estate / mortgage business for a long time, and rarely do people run off the tax assesment.

My home in Laconia was just assesed at 204k down from 229k. I just turned down an offer of 302k. You need to understand more about the trends of the market.
