Having sat on a county assessment appeal board, this is basically every hearing. People want the comps high when they sell and low when the notice arrives.

Of course. Everyone wants the money they have to increase, the amount of services they receive increase or stay the same, and the money they pay to decrease or stay the same.

This isn't something special with taxes.

  • in the case of many economic areas of life, you can increase your income and you can find better prices for things. What's special here is when those same people look at municipal governance and can't see that it's a zero sum game and they can't have both of what they want.
