We bought a lot up there a couple of years ago for $72,500. We have since decided we do not want to build on it and put it on the market. It is listed at $79,900, but our realtor says it would probably only bring high $30's if it sells at all right now. Imagine my shock when I got the card that said th new tax appraisal was $80,000! I called the tax office in early January, and they agreed to reduce the value to $65,000. I'm just glad it is only a lot, and not my home. I feel for you who are going through this. Good luck!

It took quite a while to buy the land from a friend, pay the architect, contract the work to family and friends and move in. Did anyone really think it was going to be free.

I have already tried to schedule my appeal, but wasn't able to speak with anyone. I left a message, but did not receive a return call. I, for one, plan to stand up and be counted! The increase in my property value is seriously out of whack! Amen, Robert Haas!! I have already tried to schedule my appeal, but wasn’t able to speak with anyone.
