Never Get A Break

Well, I had my scheduled meeting with the county property assessor's office. My husband and I didn't expect a break--and we didn't get one. There are some major issues in the county for where we are located about collecting on old taxes for monies that should have been collected and now they are trying to play catch up. So, people in our housing price bracket are the ones penalized. I couldn't understand how in 4 months, our land value increased over $6K. Well, it wasn't the land, it was the $7K in improvements we had done, fencing and a secondary access road. We made all of our purchases for home improvements for our home here in our local area at locally owned businesses to keep the money in the area. And still got penalized. It's kind of like when you give someone an inch, they take a yard. I've never seen this kind of hospitality.
