We just got our appraisal in the mail and they are raising our property taxes by 20%! That is total bullcrap! Everyone knows the market is slowing and yet our house value increased by that much? I don't think so.

So now we have to figure out how to fight this.

What a pain. But I still think having a house is way better than when we were in an apartment.

That sucks! I hope you can get it worked out. I know you can protest it.

I dont know anything about home taxes but that does sound fishy that with the market so ######ty it is going up?!

20%...WOW, that seems like way too much!!

I hope you get it straightened out! KUP

Oh yeah, we'll be protesting it. What's really messed up is that it's illegal to go up more than 10% a year BUT that cap doesn't apply to us this year since we haven't filed a homestead exemption for 1 year yet.

We just have to figure out a way to get info on how much houses have sold for in our neighborhood so we can prove the prices aren't going up like that.
