Ours are down $1000. due to homestead exemption.

Homestead exemption doubles to $50,000 and we end up paying much more in property tax because the sneaky buggers simply raised the millage rate.

To make things worse, the property appraiser came (on his eight-year cycle) and added value because we have fish ponds - fish ponds that were added thirty years ago.

Obviously, UK Council Tax Rioters never got to emigrate...

How come ? Just call the property appraisers office to complain your house price has been reduced by $100,000

It seems that we have the only house in this economic crisis that has gone up $60,000 in value in a year with no improvements or adjustments to the house!!!! HHmmmmm I think a phone call is in order me thinks!
