Yeah, and what they don't talk about is that while they may (or may not) limit the cap in percentage increase there's no limit on how much they can increase the valuation (as far as I can tell).

So they limit the tax increase to 3%. No problem, they just increase valuations by 30% and make landowners go through the grist mill to prove that they pulled the numbers out of thin air.

The only year I've ever had a fair valuation is the year I bought my house and that was a slam dunk, I just went and showed them what I had paid for it. They had it valued at 30% more than I paid.
