This is why the lefty pols in California are desperately trying to overturn California’s 1978 Prop 13 which “limits the rate of taxation to 1% of the assessed property value, and restricts annual increases of assessed value to an inflation factor, not to exceed 2% per year.”

The left wants all property. This is just a way of taking it without admitting that’s what they’re doing.

BINGO! Between this, the illegal alien situatio and giving TENANTS property rights over the actual owners, well we all know they want to eliminate private property.

We reached a resolution to the problem.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/resolution
(Definitions 2, 3, and 8).

The bad news: you have to sell your house to pay your property tax. With a reverse mortgage you can still live there.

The good news: property values are up, so you’re getting a better price.

In his lawyer weasel mind I think it means that residential property values have outpaced commercial property values so the impact of a reverse mortgage to pay property tax wouldn’t hurt as much for what a homeowner had invested in the place to start with.

I'm well-aware of the various different meanings of the word "resolution," scrabblehack.

But it makes no sense in this sentence:

Residential property sales outpacing commercial sales has resolution in property value growth on the residential side, meaning that under the revaluation, residential property owners are now bearing more of the property tax burden.

If we insert your suggested meaning ("We reached a resolution to the problem.") into the above sentence, we get:

Residential property sales outpacing commercial sales has resolution in is solved by property value growth on the residential side, meaning that under the revaluation, residential property owners are now bearing more of the property tax burden.

That makes no sense!

Item: The only explanation I can see is that the copy-editors were asleep at the switch!
