I suspect the county is using Zillow’s estimate to raise the property taxes on my house.
I don't know how they ever convinced people to pay for property taxes...When the greedy in government first started property taxes I honestly don't know who they got anyone go go along with it.
It went something like this, "Hey, we here in government are going to start charging you to live in the home you own. Yes yes, we know you OWN it, but we want our cut. So pay up sucker or we'll seize your home and throw you in the street. You only think you owned your home sucker. But the ugly truth is, we in government own your home. Pay up stupid or else!"
Thanks to the house fire I haven’t even been able to live in my house for almost two years.
Property values still went up.
I called the county to ask wtf?!? and they said they’ d “ adjust” my taxes.
It was still the same amount so I called again.
“ Well, it would’ve been more without the adjustment”.
IF I ever get to go home again, living on a piddly widow benefit, I have no idea how I’ll survive.
The taxes are more than one month of that benefit.
I guess for that tax payment month I will just sit in the dark and starve.
I hate Zillow.
I just got new county assessment, etc. TODAY
ZILLOW is using COUNTY numbers-—to the the dollar.
