We own a one-family house. THE CITY OF NEW YORK DEPT. OF FINANCE assessed the market value of our house last year to $1 million. This year, the market value dropped to $800,000, but the TAXES went up. How can this be possible? We figured that if they lowered the market value, our taxes will be less, not more. Also, does it mean that if we were to sell this house, the most we can get for it is $800,000? The house is in an excellent neighborhood and top location. Thanking you in advance,

You can appeal your tax assessment. If you are looking for a market analysis, contact a realtor or two. There is no obligation.

did the assessed value go down as well, or just market value?
