The law prohibits the county, for Instance, from collecting any more than more nextyearfrom property tax than it collected this year. And since assessed valuation went mill levy had to be adjusted down to compensate. So why did your taxes jump more than six percent? Well here's a few of the reasons. As a result of the reeval-uatithe first since 1961 for buildings and longer for farm ground property "held its own" and may have actually been assessed even lower. That's because of Green Belt, a law which allows farm ground to be valued at its production value rather than its market value. Thus a piece of ground on the outskirts of a town may be worth five times what it is assessed at to a speculator but is valued at its agricultural worth.

Kerr is quick to point out though that "these homes are not over assessed... we're finding some are even under assessed." A simple way for the tax payer to determine whether his home is under or over assessed is to take five times the assessed valuation on his home and then decide whether he would sell it for that price. In addition to the affects of Green Belt, Kerr says the reevaluation picked up a lot of new car ports, additions to homes, basements and other improvements that weren't on the tax rolls.
