I don’t see that holding up in court.
- doubleunplussed 5y agoThis is putting the cart before the horse. What is being proposed is to change the law. A court will absolutely uphold that law, once it is written. What it would do under current laws is irrelevant.
- cool_dude85 5y agoPlenty of unfair taxes hold up in court. Property taxes are an "unfair tax" in the same sense. Of course, the assessor can't exactly predict the value of a commodity like a home with complete accuracy. Some people get undercharged and some get overcharged, this might even be a systemic thing. But as long as it's "good enough", then the tax works more or less how it should.
