Last week I went to my appeal on the outrageous property tax increase of 400% in the last five years. What a joke! It was supposed to be a board made up of citizens that are supposed to listen to legitimate reasons why you feel your property taxes are out of line. My wife and I did a refinance on our home in January of 2007. Pierce county assessors came right along behind our professional assessor and said our property was worth $50,000 MORE than the professional!
This so called citizen board did their very best to make me feel like an idiot. They were more uptight and inflexible than any county personnel I've ever met, including building inspectors . They got me so frustrated and angry that I just old them "thanks for nothing" and walked out. On the way to the meeting my car overheated and blew a head gasket. I think that when I left the meeting I had the same problem.
I've always heard that if you don't like the music, you need to talk to the organ grinder and not the monkey. Now I just have to get in touch with some "organ grinders" and quit wasting my time with monkeys......Anyway, I'm not the least bit discouraged and there will be more to come...Take care, Pat
