Also remember, every time you make a significant improvement to your home like adding a pool or expanding the bird cage, etc, most of these activities require a permit and the town assessor always follows up after the work is done. Depending on what work you had done, it could significantly increase the value or your home and thus increase the taxes. For those who think they can get away with it by not filing a permit, I've seen the town assessors office driving around taking pictures and other means to see if you made any "improvements" to your home.
