In Seattle, the tax load stays the same on average (plus the 2% per year they can raise it, plus anything voters approve); the rates per $1000 go up or down inversely with the overall county-wide valuation base. My house valuation has gone up 100% in the past 14 years, yet my property tax has "only" gone up 35% -- some just the legal limit and some of it voted in like school bonds. Any municipality that has jacked up the monies they've collected across the board based on the bubble deserved to get buggered.
