Most in my state getting their property tax info this week and getting slapped with a much higher increase than expected.

State did property reassessments last year and hadn't done it since the 80s. (Well weren't my parents lucky all that time, despite the whining they did about money when I was a kid!) So everyone expected an increase, but despite the supposed way to calculate it to estimate what it would be after everyone got their reassessment info in the mail last Nov... this turned out to be way higher. Added in are school districts that were able to pass increases that contribute to it as well.

Seen some saying theirs went up 46%, 81%, $1200, $1700, one said it basically doubled theirs. And this bill is gonna be due in Sept., so people have a pretty limited time to find that extra cash if finances are already tight.
