Your taxes in October 2021 were based on the previous owner's assessment and exemptions.

As a new owner, your first full year taxes will be based on the true market value of the home and not limited at all by any previous exemptions. Unfortunately for you, there was (is?) a hot market for homes and the value of yours increased 19.3% in your first year.

This year: 19.3% (increase in assessment) - 9.1% (tax rate decrease) - ( a little in school taxes) = 9.6%

Next year the increase in assessment will be the lesser of 10% or the increase in the CPI.
