Property owners like me want low property taxes but also fair taxes based on the actual value in relation to comparable properties in the area. If tax rates are reduced and assessments are accurate, everyone benefits. If the assessor is making wildly inaccurate assessments on some properties, that means someone else is getting screwed by his inability to do his job or the assessor is corrupt. A hallmark of corruption in third world countries is that property is valued according to who owns it, not its actual value. So a community with a inaccurate property assessments is either poorly managed or corrupt. Some day you may own property and understand this.
