ON the flip side, so much for the lack of home appreciation statements, as it looks like some parts of the city are seeing increasing home values as well.
Buffalo just reassessed the taxes a couple of years ago and the taxes just went up alot and alot of people were steaming mad then !!!! Buffalo's going broke again like all of WNY Towns & Villages and they have to raise property taxes every year
In Florida there is a Save Our Home Cap with no more than 3% increase/year. The Florida Constitution was amended effective January 1, 1995, to limit annual increases in assessed value of property with Homestead Exemption to three percent or the change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower. Can you imagine that in tax happy NYS?

Why yes, yes I can.
NY has a tax cap that limits a local government’s overall growth in the property tax levy to 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. Unless a significant number of properties are assessed at a lower value than currently, properties at a higher value should not see a large increase in taxes.

Are there exceptions to the tax cap?
There are limited, narrow exclusions to the cap, including certain costs of
significant judgments arising out of tort actions and unusually large year-to-year
increases in pension contribution rates.
Schools can override the cap by getting a 60 percent vote at their budget referendums each May, yet few districts each year able to achieve an override. Municipalities can override the cap with 60 percent of their governing boards, which is easier to attain.
All this means is the outrageous taxes are kept as they are and can only increase 2% a year. The taxes on my former house went up 15% because of the higher assessment.

You would think that someone running these towns would eventually figure out that raising taxes drives the businesses and working individuals that pay those taxes out of the area, compounding the loss of revenue. I know, it's a NY thing-that idea will never sink in to a NYS politician.
