Nope. The city recently annexed me into the city without my requesting it and in fact ignoring my desire to not be annexed. My taxes doubled, with county staying the same level and city adding an equal level, to in effect double my taxes for zero added value. BUT, for those in high tax areas, my doubled taxes amount to $160 per month for the privilege of living here. To put it in perspective, I have a condo in Dalton, GA which has 1200 less square feet and no lot/yard, and my property tax in Dalton is the same as here in Johnson City, 1800+ per year. At least Dalton offers services for the taxes.
