Question: I believe people need to be educated that the ONLY item that affects the amount of their tax bills is how much the town spends. If we all get our houses reassessed and everyone’s value drops 15% or 20% the tax rate will just go up to compensate for the drop in revenue. I have heard for years people saying how the increase in property values have increased their taxes, not true.
BCC Answer: We couldn’t agree more with our educated viewer.
