Stan; NYC ; needs to see how we do it in Brazoria County, instead of raising the TAX rate, we slip an appraiser out and he just marks up the market value of the real estate. No Tax RATE increase and you property is worth more. ------------ Well most see taht raises the amount of tax they pay, but they don't complain because it makes them a lot richer on paper. Lets say the Tax is $2 on 1K , and the County needs 10% more ...the 1K is valued up to 1.1K so the mullets only pay 0.20 more for every 100 more they are worth on paper. ( most of them accept it as a good deal ) This has been going on for years and & tahts why the County is now having a fire sale on property taht a lot of people found they just couldn't pay the Taxes on.
