Ok, but if real estate prices half the city can just double the tax from 0.5% to 1%? Correct?

Yes, but every elected official will lose their job at that millage rate increase and you'll have riots.

  • Why? If the real estate prices half and the municipality doubles the tax rate, everyone pays the same amount of tax in dollars per year?

    • Because people don't enjoy paying taxes if they perceived they should go down.
