Adopting good property tax reform is not easy. 72.9 percent of local government tax revenues were made up of property taxes over 2000-2001 alone. Most owner discontent is that they are assessed based on increasing market values, sometimes exponential increases, instead of the fairer option for an owner to pay a set percentage over what was paid in the prior year. The discontent has owners forming property tax relief organizations and making ardent speeches to foster membership.
