Reply #2: You might be able to fight it.... [View All]

They usually count on people to NOT fight.

I did, when I lived in a blue area in Va. The guy across the street, who was a retired sheriff... had a garage, and dbl subdividable lot where I did not have either. It ended up HIS assessment was raised and he SOLD the damned lot to a builder. This stuff goes on ALL the time. One apt complex next to the metro was assessed at $100,000 less than my single family home. Go figure.

Where I live now in another state, my assessment is about what I might be able to sell my house for, but looking at the wealthy neighborhoods I notice their assessed value is MUCH less.
Being that I am a Realtor, I KNOW what those houses go for.

It is a class war.
