Army,

I understand what you're saying. I guess I should have said I don't need or want a higher value on my property. My house will be paid for in just a few years and we plan on retiring, in this home, here in Dodge. For now I'd just prefer a lower value on my property. (less taxes)

Changing the topic abit...

I talk to people all the time who have their property taxes included in their house payment. For me that is a big mistake. Why have my morgage company hold that money all year, earning interest when I could be earning the interest for myself. Having my own escrow account makes the best sense for me.
