Yay the Tax assessments are out!


It is the time of year that everyone owning property in Ada County received the tax assessments.  What does this mean to the average home owner?  It probably will make their home mortgage go up to compensate for the increase.
When you purchased your home back at the closing company you saw what your monthly payment would be and you placed this into your budget.  Now what do you do when your taxes have risen in some areas 10% or higher?  At the same time the taxes in Ada County have increased, the amount of the homeowners exception have decreased, this causes a wider increase in money out of your pocket.
This year with all of the School problems it has become a year of government getting back some of the money lost with the great depression.  Yes I said depression. 
The tax assessor will give his reasons for the property values to go up, but it doesn’t take into consideration the individual homes value.  He still gets his information off of the neighborhood houses that have sold in the area.  (If you think he is out looking at your house you are wrong).
So we go along the merry way and pay for all the governments’ services and beyond.  It looks like the assessor will be busy with lots of folks not agreeing with his assessment of things.
