"Your neighbor could be paying twice the property tax you are on the same house. That's fair?" OR pay half of what I pay. Is it fair? YES. We all knew the deal when we bought property. 1% and 2% increase. If the property drops the new neibor pays less. OK with me. Let the state know exactly what they can spend. Sounds like a good idea. Is it fair to expect that some people are paying 2 or 3 or more times the property tax in other states for no other reason that the state wants more money? From a cash flow standpoint property tax is just outragous anyway. My house doubles. Does my income? my spending? my use of goverment facilities? "tax 'em till they have to leave" I guess thats your motto.

"RE:" Yet If my house goes up in value, even if I have no intention of selling, My share should increase?" "Welcome to the real world" Not in the wonderful state of CA.

You should recognize and know you cannot argue with this type of thinking. Marginally literate folks who are convinced taxes are for other people have driven our country to where it is today.
