Where to take the property tax analysis I am doing to initiate action to correct serious errors and disfunction is the question.
Three avenues I see the NLA, City Council or the County level. The county has an Audit Committee and maybe the best place to go or Tony Debone who is also on the Committee as a County member.
I chose the Audit Committee Chairman
Previously I had decided that selecting my own property as an example and comparing it to a Designated Forestland property in the City would be an excellent example exposing the magnitude of difference in Property Tax.
I decided to use the same approach but to select the Committee Chairman's taxlot as an example. Any city taxlot in the normal range of valuation and tax would work. Choosing the Chairman's property would be a clever way to make the point.
What follows is the result of creating a comparison example. It reveals more than I expected and leads to more questions.
