Peanut Gallery (Another good topic)

We need to have a discussion on he fairness of property taxation in Kootenai County. The County randomly choses areas to reassess. In some instances reassessing increased values 20-30%. Taxes for these reassessed properties increase dramatically. Taxes for non reassessed properties actually go down. How fair is that!?? My taxes go up 15% and a homeowner a mile away, taxes go down $20. Why shouldnt everyones taxes go up the same %? With the passing of tax opponent Ron Rankin we have no one to watch these people!

DFO: Indeed, we need another Rankin, and we need a bell for the cats in the assessor’s office.
