Up $300 over last year, but I still have an extra $800 in my property tax savings account that is now my summer slush fund.

How much is your actual tax bill?

I always pray that assessed value will go down to $8,500 like the average house in Detroit.

Then it will be like 1960, and I'd only have to pay $100 a year in taxes.

Who truely cares what other people think your house is worth if you never plan on selling or moving. I'd rather put the money into some more nickels.

Lower, lower, lower value! Seriously, it does get to the point where you try to get information on when the assesor is going to be in the neighborhood, and you try to temporarily mess up the exterior just to lower the value a bit.

Not if there are other people out there to offset it. Raise Rob Anders assessed house value 3700%, I'd be happy about that.

Its hard to imagine that back in the mid-1980's $100,000 would have bought a higher end house in Vancouver. Even harder to imagine that houses used to be less than $20,000 a generation before that.
