Just something to discuss. I'm a little angry about it. Figured I would see how it is outside of cuyahoga county???
I pay pretty high property taxes, about $3500+ a year for an average 3 bed room 2 bathroom house w/ no property. I had tried to dispute the assessed value the last 2 years with no luck, but this year was the 3rd year so time for a reassessment from the county.
My value dropped 17%!! Here I was doing the math, all excited thinking I was going to save close to $60 a month starting in january (and get a little check back from my mortage company due to overpayment of my escrow acct).
After a little research it seems that the rates pretty much change directly in relation to values. In other words, values go up, taxes decrease. Values go down, they increase.
So here we have a bunch of crappy neighborhoods that are already struggling, lets raise taxes, make more people want to move, make them less attractive to want to stay there...
How does that seem logical or fair? Is that normal??? Seems like BS to me.
ok I'm done ranting.
