Property Tax assessment: neighborhood map

[Boris]

God darn tax & spend liberals, right Boris?

heh...actually, in my appeal I supplied about a dozen comps that were significantly lower in assessed value than me. My appeal came back with about a dozen or so equally valid comps that were a little bit higher.

*sigh*

I got a reduction, as follows:

2007 assessed value: $20,500
Proposed 2008 value: $31,421
2008 Current average: $28,142

This is still bull shit.  None of the comps they used were on my block - one comp was $43,314!  I'm going to appeal to the Board of Review, which I understand is more reasonable than the assessor's office.
