When assessments go down only 3 things can happen. Either services are cut, millage goes up, or a combinatio of the two.
John - I totally agree with you. We, homeowners, want our communities to be decently cared and thus we pay our taxes.
However 2006 assessment in Cuyahoga County in many cases was unreasonably based on artificially inflated property value. Fraudulent activity of few groups of people who "sold" properties for inflated prices to "straw" buyers, also contributed to increased property taxes. If this is the case, that would be reasonable for home owners to contest the property value and request update on property taxes based on TRUE sales.
