Would not usually double the taxes.But if I buy a house then the taxes usually go up, if I hold it long enough to see a new assessment.

But if the HOA is undercapitalized and something need to get done (all the carports rebuilt or parking lots paved for example) then you can get hit with a special assessment and the monthly fee jumps up dramatically.

I would appreciate any advice or guidance on how to assess the risk of these.  

Would your management fees require any special assessment to all the owners of the units?

He/She should have this money and your tenants will expect it when they move out.I know in MD, within a certain time-span after closing, you can appeal your property tax assessment.

Seems to be directed at HUD participants/grantees (i.e. federal agencies and federal grantees, which could include local governments) and to be a way for them to analyze/plan/assess their fair housing priorities/goals. 

I'm trying to figure out if this is a good deal, I ran into a guy that wants to sell 30 acres of land, he had it appraised at 375k, city assessment is $281,431 he wants 150k and is willing to negotiate, this is in a rural area in California (mountains), houses there sell over 1m in smaller lots, I'm really not familiar with land, so any advice would be appreciated.Thanks.

The thing that really scared me was they told me after one of the hurricanes their condo assessed them about 100K.

They eat cash flow and the powers that be can yank renting privileges and give special assessments pretty much at will.  

Assess the claim of damages2.
