It is laughable how low the taxes (and assessments) are here.
no, it is not laughable to the people here on pensions. $2000 a year is a lot.
Yes, the pensioners taxes do go up when the square footage assessment rises because of million dollar sales in the area.
ETA - Sorry to bump an old topic, but assessment time is coming round again. Where do people think it will go in 2011, up or down?
Why would you go back and edit an 18 month old post?

Best thing to do w/ tax assessment is to have good comps and be prepared to explain your side of the issue like any negative influences on your property. In my personal case in Denver at $1500 per year it seems like a bargain. My assessed value has always been way below resonable market value so I don't bother fighting it (too much brain damage). Some places like New York state have chased away allot of residents w/ inflated income and property tax where as the Hilo/Puna districts would be crazy to jack things up too high w/ the realestate market still waivering.
