Reply to comment by ktxhopem3276 in School Me on the Property Tax Assessment Appeal by 3RudySquared

>Non permitted renovations in the $50k range seem to be getting crazy high premiums in the last couple years.

This depends entirely on the location of the house and other factors, and the difference between assessed and true value (before sale) still comes down largely to the fact that the last assessment was in 2012 and doesn't account for vast changes in the housing market since then.

The work in that house isn't limited to a paint job but you are committed to missing the point here. And I don't know what "perfect solution" you are imagining here, I've already acknowledged that no solution is ideal. Only one of us thinks the current model is even remotely acceptable and it's not me! Please go project your goofy arguments on to someone else.

you are exaggerating the effectiveness of annual reassessments to feel superior while ignoring the costs and deploying hyperbolic strawmans to avoid admitting your solution is mediocre and full of loopholes. it has implementation challenges and bureaucratic waste, while calculating a clr for each neighborhood is orders of magnitude cheaper than reassessing every house annually

If a democrat tries to implement annual assessments it will be committing career suicide and hand the county to republicans. Democrats could fix the clr with less bad publicity and spend political capital on more important issues. Let a Republican figure out the shitty property tax system because they refuse to raise income taxes
