Property Taxes

[Stainless]

Got property tax bills in mail today, $4345.00. Up $400 from last year.
This is for 1 residence and 3 vacant lots.
Anyone else feel like they got yours testie's in the vice?

I impound my property taxes so I don't see it as one bill. It is built into my house payment.

I haven't gotten the mail today and wasn't plannin on it. Now I'll have to go see if my evening is ruined!

[ChumpChange]

Nope. Not there. So now my week is ruined since I know it's coming. Thanks!

Amen. I could pay a small mortgage with mine. Thank you Mello Roos.

I could say that with my last house and the mello roos. 5 yrs ago I sold it and moved to the country. Life is much better.

I've successfully protested my assessments down substantially from what the County says it is. They send out the post cards and I file appeals with comparable sales to justify the lower amounts. In five out of six cases, the county agreed and lowered my assessed amount, my home included. I had to take one property to the second level of appeal (board of adjustments) and there I kicked the County's butt and lowered my assessment even more by presenting facts and comparable sales to prove my point at that level.

Who says you can't fight city hall????
