Trackeer...

The Bernie Sanders school of Socialism? Hardly! There is not a state in the Union that doesn't have a property tax.... every single one of those taxes is assessed on $xx/1000 of valuation. The more your property is worth, the more your individual tax bill may be. But everyone in the municipality pays the same $xx/1000 rate. I don't know why you think you should pay the same property tax as someone whose house is only valued at $150K....

I am sorry Vision Appraisal upped the value on your investment by $60K and increased your tax bill by $1260... If you feel you are so wronged, and the value nowhere near fair market value, you should appeal it. I would. I truly and sincerely hope you win.

The city by law has to stay above 90%+ valuation... as such, Vision usually looks/visits at every property in the city on a 5 year cycle... if your value has held steady for 3 years, and your comments about the Appraiser trying to get into the house... it seems to me like you just got whacked by the 5 year visit.
