Property Value Raised Again on our 10 acre-burnt out parcel going from a value of $92,000 to $129,000 in one year. We are only at the framing stage of our rebuild after the fire. The scorched land has not been improved.
A 40-1/2 % INCREASE in one year right after a nationally declared disaster wildfire. NOT REASONABLE.
DEADLINE TO FILE AN APPEAL IS JULY 1, 2024 in the mail. That is Monday.
I have had to appeal our inflating tax value increases for the last 3 years. Filled-out forms are available if you would like to download them HERE. Unfortunately, we have not been unsuccessful. It would take a miracle to win with the way Spokane County has this set up.
ONLY if everyone stood up and appealed together could we win.
