Taxes are pricing me out.

Just got property tax statements today.   Most of the houses went up a few thousand to maybe 7 thousand, which is bad enough, but I have one house that the improvements were valued at 76,000 last year, and this year are valued at 140,000.    Want to know what improvements I made?   A paint job, 500 bucks worth of fake rock veneer and some new cedar shutters I built myself. 

Wow.   I mean, I know I'm a great handyman, but 64k for that little bit of work.  :)   I'm in the wrong business.   Making my list of properties to protest my taxes, same as last year.

I'm dealing with the same issue. Property taxes on one house are going to raise my house payment by $300 a month. Lets get the torches and pitchforks ready.
