Isn’t this what the homestead tax is supposed to protect you from? Doesn’t it keep the state from increasing the property tax more than 6% annually? Am I dumb?

It is, which is why I commented asking if this happened before or after they purchased the property and if this is their only house. They also purchased “above market value,” which might complicate things.

You don't qualify if you make over 60k.

I'd literally save money every year if I took a small pay cut... My taxes are going to be like $500 a month soon for a less than 1000 sqft house on a busy noisy street. I think they are pulling a lot of comps from the quieter surrounding blocks. Guess I need to try and appeal.

Ok so is that the same for the county? Also, I was approved when i applied so hopefully I’m still good.
