My house is functionally identical to my neighbors', but they've been in our neighborhood for ~20 years; me for just 8. Their taxes are ~$5k; mine are ~$9k. Some of that is certainly from the purchase price as assessed in 2010, but at least $2k is for the couple minor things I've pulled permits for where the city's reassessed us each time and jacked them up. I'm about done pulling permits.
