If the housing market plummets, I wonder if they will re-adjust the assessments?

Now that's the question of the day !
My taxes went up $3000 this year alone...funny , the level of service didn't improve and the snow still took two days to be removed from my street !

I guess that's the beauty of Homestead exemption in FL. The assessed value cannot increase more than 3% per year...Of course, that doesn't mean chit as far as the tax rate goes, but it still helps avoid most big surprises like this.

We're going to get ours this summer and I'm expecting the same to happen to us only because waterfront prop in NJ has outpaced the rest of the market.

I bought my house December 2002, new tax bill increased 100%!!!!!!!!!
My second home in the Keys, obviously not Homestead protected, went up 90%!!!!!
Insurance for windstorm also increased by 80% because of re-valuation and value increase!!!!!!!!!
where will it stop????????????
