For years I have lived in Washington and listened to people fuss about property taxes, re-evaluations, and such. When I bought my house, I didn't think much of it, because the tax value really didn't seem odd to me - it came in under where the estimate did when I bought the house.
Background for those of you that don't know - I live in a block house (like a school) built in the early 50's, with old raggedy windows that needs a new roof (yeah for tax returns).
So this year is a re-evaluation year.
And shock of shocks - my house is now worth $30K more than it was last year - NO JOKE.
So needless to say - thank GOD for spring break - so I can go down to the tax office to find out what I have to do to have this REDONE.
People - if I could get $100,000 for my house - I'd sell today - NO JOKE AGAIN.
More info as it becomes available.
