Property tax rates are based on how much your city/county needs to operate. Property values change, but so do mill rates. Most cities aren’t allowed to take surplus tax, so they tweak the mill rate when property values fluctuate.

The government gets to decide how much the government is allowed to fuck you. Seems fair.

Theoretically, in a democracy, we ARE the government.
