I wonder how many will appeal their phoney assessments?
Most assessments are phony. In Pennsylvania, my house "assessed" for 1/3 of it's actual value, which is supposed to give the tax payer some sort of deluded feeling that he's scored a "deal." In Massachusetts, state law requires homes to be reassessed every year, with a detailed assessment done every
x number of years. It's the most fair system I can think of.
In any case, it's not the value of your house that determines how much you pay. It's the value of your home relative to other homes in your neighborhood that determines how much you pay.
