One last erg spent on this today... we who are branded "greedy" and "anti-community" are in fact the total opposite. I refer you to the most basic formula of property tax: valuation of the property. The property owner's income is totally irrelevant when determining the amount of tax. If a house is valued at $220K, the tax rate is the same if the property owner makes $50K/year or $500K per year. Logically, those complaining about the tax increase would most likely be the former than the latter. And of course the retirees who live in town homes now going for the mid-500's to mid-600's (IDK the valuations) paying $10K per year property tax with zero school attendance.
