Anyone else get a drastic increase in their triennial tax assessment?

I’m guessing you don’t live in Texas where it’s every year and there is a cottage industry for protesting them.

Yes there is no state income tax here but they get their pounds of flesh through property tax.

Move to South Carolina. We have some of the cheapest property taxes for owner occupied houses. They make it back on commercial properties. My home and and a business property I own have similar tax valuations (1.5M). My annual tax for my home was 5,600.00 . The business tax hit is 61,000.00 plus.

Colorado is like this, and has been for a long time, but is not so extreme. We’ve made it a lot more complicated over the last few years as rapidly increasing actual value for residential real property has created legislative gyrations to provide “relief” that hasn’t been particularly effective. We also have flat state income tax of 4.4 %, very high sales taxes, and a plethora of enterprise “fees”. We have a constitutional tax and expenditure limit that’s typically considered the strictest in the country, but with voter-approved exceptions and judicially upheld legislative workarounds, it does a lot less in reducing the total government take than it does in making how it’s taken more complex, unfair, and opaque.
