Pitt property taxes have risen steadily over the last 20 yrs
they used millage to bring about higher taxes
now they have raised assessed values also
and most people's taxes have increased 40-75% over last year
last year's taxes were about 20% higher than ten years ago

the big rub has been radically increasing assessment on land
my parents have a big tract of useless land in back
it is sloped sharply at an angle, thus useless
but taxes went up more because of the big hunk of land
crazy
