The assessment comes at 10% or$10,000.  So the tax bill is $1000.  Even if they knock off $5000 on the $100,000 and you get $95,000 you only save $50 off your tax bill.  So final tax bill is $950.  If your protest is successfull, which I doubt it will be, you save a whopping $50 bucks!  This wholead valorem is just another tax racket cooked up by the politicians.  They raise the rate every now and then and most people don'teven notice or care and the tax just keeps going up to finance  their pet projects.</blockquote>
