If your taxes jumped in 10 years from $8000 to $13,500.... a 69% jump, I am pretty sure your home value has risen substantially.

You hit the nail on the head. Although our home isn't on the water, it's part of Long Bay. The assessment of properties on or near the water is higher than assessment of properties in the city. Our home value is not any more now than it was in 2008. The assessment has increased.
