  You’re right though. However the problem is when people’s property tax goes up by more than their wages. My parents had an $800 increase even though the property assessment dropped by 100k. They keep allowing all this residential to go up without letting industrial build aswell meaning the tax burden mostly on residential and not commercial.

    Til, I pay less than a grand a year on two properties but I’m also in a fairly rural area.
