Had My Taxes Reassessed
The TOH lets you "plead your case" -by May 17th- to have your taxes reassessed.
Having lived in the house next door to the one I bought and having looked at 3 houses on the block that were for sale over the course of 2 years, (thus being familiar with the area) I was floored that our taxes were OVER $2000 more than the other 4 houses. My next door neighbor has less property and more living space and his taxes were about $900 less and the neighbor right across the street -in the same exact house as mine but with .04 less acreage- was $2200 less 
So I put together a little packet to plead my case - photos, comps, etc...and just got the letter today from the TOH, Assessor's office:
My taxes were reassessed for $2600 LESS than what they were originally  I cannot tell you how GREAT that feels!!!

Re: Had My Taxes Reassessed
 Thanks! I know it's silly but it really made my day!
Now I've got to convince DH to reward me with a shopping spree using the money I saved us

I would agree with that too!
I'm still in shock that it worked out in our favor - for as much as it did, no less!

How is that silly?  You should be really proud of yourself! Not only did you save nig bucks, but you fought back against insane taxes! Congrats!
