My assessed value and my taxes declined from last year. Not by much, but since the bill usually goes up at least 7 % I figure a slight dollar drop actually equates to a real drop of the 7% increase that I didn't have to pay.
I just gotta ask, when the lake property values shot UP 20% like they did a few years ago did
anyone run to their town and offer to pay their new higher fair share of the property tax?

It probably took a year or two for the assessments to catch up with the sales values. I'll bet no one complained about the LAG then.
