There used to be six homeowners on my block out of six homes, but I am sure that they are correct, my house is worth more. If I could get what they assessed it at, I would sale it today, pay off my mortgage and clear at least 10 grand. Ain&#39;t going to happen. I likely lose $30,000 if I had to sell it today. Their assessment practices are fraudulent - they think that their job is to help raise revenue instead of ascertaining fair value. Of course private appraisers aren&#39;t really any better - I don&#39;t know how anyone can assess or appraise a house if they have never been in it.Citizen Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083803017411939029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-31208286985934529022013-04-05T19:11:54.151-05:002013-04-05T19:11:54.151-05:00Why would property tax bills rise? We have the Colts, the Pacers; we regularly host the Final Four, and we have hosted the Super Bowl. We also switched to Daylight Savings Time. All this was promised to make us flush with cash.<br /><br />Your figures must be in error. Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03341628086158209539noreply@blogger.com
