Taxes / Budget By making the assessment process objective, we eliminate the need for appeals and the corrupt industry of property tax lawyers who demand a percentage of our reduced taxes achieved on appeal. Taxes / Budget Juristictional tax levies should be set according to the underlying values of the properties to be taxed and not politicians' insatiable desire for spending. Taxes / Budget Let us limit property taxes to 1% of assessed value with annual inflation increases capped at 2%.
