No shi.... This blows my mind. Illinois is so screwed up our property values are stagnant or worse but they find a way to tax us more by raising the %'s used. If you follow the rules and do anything under a permit you had better believe the assessor will be by to jack the value (taxes).Seriously?
Our property taxes go up every year. And when we get a permit to remodel or any upgrades they reassess the value and raise the taxes.
