So wrong. So very, very WRONG.

My county tax, 2014, on an assessed value of $403,900 was $2302
My county tax, 2024, on an assessed value of $474,510 is $2076

So you're right---it's the amount of the check you write that counts.

PS: that's a 10 year DECREASE in county tax of 9.8%, so I doubt our only tax decrease was 1.4% a few years ago.
