Nice timing

We just got our property reassessment from the city. Apparently they have taken our benign neglect of the property for the past five years as a sign that we have been gilding the inside of the house because our assessed property value has jumped a bit. Enough, actually, that using the city's on-line tax calculator we can expect to pay 215% more for our next property tax bill. O_O

That's based on the 2008 rate, mind you.

Holy crap!

They were talking about the increase on the radio, and indicated that the largest increases they saw were about 115% of the current value. I guess that means I know where that happened.

I wonder if I got 50% off because I now only have half a house?

Well I guess that's one good thing about living in a country with a ravaged economy.... suck taxes, Canadian! *throws a couple mortgaged houses onto the fire for warmth*
