well that’s the thing… if you bought it at that, then it must have been appraised somewhere around there… so then it begs the question as to why you would’nt expect to pay that amount of taxes? that is one of the issues with reassessment, they can get a house and reassess 2 months after a purchase or wait 2 years… but since it’s not tied to new home ownership, sometimes people make out while others dont.
i expect to pay what i bought my house for… if they want to reassess higher, they are going to have to fight me for it.
anyone can simply contend their assessment… you just show local comparibles, question the sq footage of livable space and go on tape and officially question it… they will lower your assessment.
