life destroying ways. yep, it's a cycle of humans in circular motion.
The only people that might happen to are those whose property is
currently way under-assessed compared to similar properties. That is,
the people who had been paying less than their fair share prior to the
reassessment.
As much as it grates on me to agree with jimmee on this or any point, he
is somewhat correct. I'm acquainted with some folks in E. Tenn who
watched their property taxes skyrocket as outsiders moved in willing to
pay obscene sums for adjacent remote mountain properties. Land that had
been in the same family for generations was suddenly too expensive, tax
wise, for the current owners of modest means, to pay.
What I wrote doesn't disagree with that scenario. At least here, the
assessed value is supposed to be the fair market value. Something similar
will probably happen to me in about two years, after the current
reassessment is complete. Someone has bought several properties near mine
for considerably over the previous market price.
What I don't agree with is demonizing the buyer. It also takes willing
local sellers.
