Thanks everyone for the feedback. Its unbelievable! The county office claims they sent out an “average” of 19.5% valuation increase. They claim the valuation is based on the fair market value. How can the county give themselves an “average” of 19.5% annual raise? That’s got to amount to several billion additional dollars given the number of properties in the county. Does anyone or any company ever get such a raise? According to my tax payment records the rate increase has been 9% and 7% and now 36%. A 54% increase in 3 years. Ridiculous.

I’ll investigate who to write. I might contact the news media. I'm sure I won’t be the only one.....
