You are one of the ...I appreciate your post, Paul. You are one of the few, who seems to understand how properties are to be assessed and how it relates to the property taxes we pay. I wish some of our Elected Officials understood how property taxes are ultimately levied...by their budgets.<br /><br />The total amount of property taxes levied against the property owners of Canyon County has little to do with assessment values and everything to do about City, County and School District budgets. Public hearings on these budgets usually start in July. I wish some of the bloggers would take the time to learn how our property tax system, while far from flawless, works and make their voice heard at these public hearings. It's been a runaway freight train at the City and School District level with their budgets, while the economy was shrinking. <br /><br />But it is our responsibility, as property owners, to ask questions if we feel our assessment notice is incorrect. Just do a little research before jumping on the Assessor. <br /><br />Also, I recently sold a residential property in Nampa. 2013 assessment $74k; 2014 assessment $107k (45% increase)......sold in January for $116k. I have no complaints this year...

I hope a lot of people take the time to do so. maybe if they are swamped with appeals they will be more realistic in the future.

I wonder how many people would turn out if they had to be delivered by May 15. I feel very frustrated when I see how much value they have added to my home. Nobody knows how much it is worth until it is sold. What they send us is their best guess of what values really are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157230973290376625.post-57584518661909991392014-05-31T11:18:47.770-06:002014-05-31T11:18:47.770-06:00Well, the Good Ole Boys have suddenly said that my...Well, the Good Ole Boys have suddenly said that my place is worth more now. I live in Nampa. Guess it is time to pay for those non voter approved projects like the library and the police station. Oh, and don't forget about the money that just suddenly disappeared from the Nampa School District. Gotta make up for that, too. Boy, I sure hate seeing Team Tom Dale and Company invading the County building this coming January. 2015 might be worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157230973290376625.post-72176456896221548132014-05-31T11:12:54.494-06:002014-05-31T11:12:54.494-06:00Have you noticed we get the new assessment notice ...Have you noticed we get the new assessment notice right after the primary election? I wonder how many incumbents would still be elected if we got those prior to the election. On the other hand most people have their taxes collected by their bank and they get paid out of their impound accounts. The turnout was also indicative of the overall apathy of property owners too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157230973290376625.post-12257131500681780792014-05-30T21:20:53.240-06:002014-05-30T21:20:53.240-06:00The confounding part of all this is, we should see...The confounding part of all this is, we should see a lower levy rate by all taxing districts but it won't happen if history is proved correct. Property is a big fat sitting duck and they know we don't have the tools to fight back. Appealing is largely a waste of time and they know this as well. It makes me hate being a homeowner when I see increases like this. I am powerless to do anything but pay up or lose my home.<br /><br />Looks like I get to once again suck it up and hope the sticker shock on my tax bill is within my ability to pay up come November when the tax bills arrive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157230973290376625.post-19620778748961441662014-05-30T17:36:32.663-06:002014-05-30T17:36:32.663-06:0046% increase for me.
