House Assessment went up 250k

parish/county assessment is so corrupt. there was a thread recently. No way should govt be alone determining how much money they get. I had something like you got several years ago, but we had recently had a refi done and had an appraisal in hand to prove theirs wrong. they didn't want to discuss it though; they just said send it to them and they'd adjust theirs (and they did).

Had the same thing happen again last year. Didn't have an appraisal to counter with. here, they come out once every 3 years and reappraise. so every 3 years our taxes go up a dishonest amount.

So I owe the difference in property tax assessments since January 1, 2020?

You’re not going to owe more for last year. That’s done. It will be higher going forward.

When do these go out?

What are the parishes doing with all of this money? Home values are through the roof. They should be cutting back on millage since values are skyrocketing.

I’ve gotten mine in August every year.

The parishes are well-oiled efficient machines so I’m sure not a penny goes to waste

Friend,

Let us hope that all of Jefferson Parish's assessments increased in equitable equivalents. The tax assessor's office should give a fair market value valuation. That is its job. Let the people determine what is a fair tax rate on that real valuation. The current system where houses are assessed in such a wildly unpredictable and irrational way I hope is on the way out. That system has always been open for abuse, and in a parish as corrupt as Jefferson, perhaps through the years the most corrupt local government in American history, is has been terribly abused to the benefit of the mob and friends of the mob, both of whom have run Jefferson for a century and still seek me.

Yours,

No...a house was here already

So I will essentially back owe for the year...that's great. I wish I could retroactively raise rates on my clients months later and force their payment like the government does to us.

Yes. That explains it. Bought in June.
