Didn't really answer the questions. Do your property taxes increase because the rates increased or because the assessed value of your property increased, or perhaps because your governments added flat per-parcel fees?

I re-assessed many years (5+) ago to get it as low as possible and haven't had that changed. The selling price of the homes went down with everyone else in 2k7, and have slowly gotten better to maybe worth a little more than what we paid for. It's really do to what I listed.

I'm starting to wonder if your unwillingness to answer simple questions could be contributing to your unsatisfactory income.

I thought I stated, but I guess not clearly, that it is due to the mill rate increasing every year for the past 10 years due to the factors I listed, not valuation.

I don't know what more I can add.

You could say the one or two of these phrases that most accurately sums up the reason for your property tax increase:

"My taxes increased because of an increase in property tax rates."

"My taxes increased because of an increase in property valuation."

I think I know which one you will say, but I'm not 100% sure, and I expect that the GP is also unsure.
