Kim Goodnight's property taxes | what does it mean ?

[Clueless]

I check our taxes and they are the same too. This is another one of those posters that hurl anything over the fence and see if they can start something.

I'm sure everybody's shows the same thing even the unregisturd poster has the same on his taxes.

Still too HIGH for living in a "crap hole"! 30-40 years ago, it was a great little town to raise your family. Now, it is a nightmare at times, and EXPENSIVE!

There's a lot of things that page doesn't show. Like, was the taxes appealed, property change hands, improvements, and other changes in the property. There could have been corrections to the classification or the land could have been used for business purposes in prior years. The only way you'll know is to pull an ICS sheet, which will show you a sketch of the property, buildings and even rooms. It will show you how the property has changed and whether the condition has been upgraded or downgraded.

Similarly, in prior years, mine goes way up and then way down and then back up as well- Why? because the county had it way over appraised (110k) prior to my purchase (60K) and subsequent valuation appeal (64k) which made them go way up (prior to my purchase), way down (appeal) and now gradually back up again as I make improvements.

So, you can't rely on that for the answer - you must look at the ICS sheet, which you can request free of charge from the county appraisers office for free.

I'll respond for the Mayor, then force myself to ignore Unregisturd -

Did you happen to notice it was tax on personal property - which declines in value over time, or you add and sell...

This makes no sense at all.

Starting in 1997 and 1998 the accessed valuation is and remains at $642. In 1999 it finally starts to climb. It continues to climb till 2002 ($8,885) and then starts dropping every year after that to $2,800.00 in 2006 and $1,883.00 in 2007.

What is he doing? Burning off rooms? Everyone else is seeing theirs double if not triple.

When I run the Parcel ID number 086-23-0-10-17-003.00-0, I get a completely different report. Anyone know why?

Read my answer above your last post.

It's taxable personal property - not real property. If you acquired more taxable personal property, the valuation would increase - then as it's depreciated or sold, the valuation would decrease. Nothing unusual at all. Unregisturd is the one that is clueless.
