They have been jacking up our value for several years. I fight it, knock it down, and the next year it raises by half the amount knocked off. Its a money grubbing scheme because they know people won’t vote to raise sales tax (its just) a penny.

I hate these people. and its worse because sellers in our neighborhood see their value has risen, and list the house for even more (we are in the 375-400k range now for 165-200k 1968-1972 homes) out of staters come in and snag them up thinking its a great price, then the circle starts over.

I thought you couldn’t get value/appraisal raised the year after you had the value/appraisal lowered.

My place has gone from $80K value in 2010 to $246K now.
I have added a dual car port and a 30x50 shop, those cost me $30K 2012. This in a rural town of 1,800 in a county of less than 4,600. Yeah, something’s wrong.
