38 Percent Increase - October 2

October 2, 2025

Day 1,462 of the Adventure


It's bad enough that I have to point out week after week that the economy is beating us to death. Now, I've got yet a new rant over price increases. This time it happens to be related to property taxes. Each year, I receive a valuation update and most of the time its in the range of 8% up to as high as 17%. And this is an every year thing. Even though the actual value never really changes that much. Yesterday, I received a 2025 valuation notice and it had increased by 38% over last years. LET THAT SINK IN........ 38% increase for one year! 
Now, this piece of real estate is a business asset and the latest property tax adjustment is just one of a number of price increases we've seen related to this property over the past few years. Insurance has more than doubled on it over three years. Of course everything related to maintenance has increased by nearly that much. The crazy part is that the income connected to it has actually dropped off over the same time frame. 

I'm ready to burrow my way deeper into the woods!
