troutman: good idea, that Ranger flag needs to come down, especially since it's a Messier! I know you can't see in that picture but I do have the Flames "Beat them in the Alley" team poster up over the couch. That was a classic not because it had Fleury, Macinnis, vernon, Suter, Nieuwy, in the picture but because it had some infamous Flames on that team like Roger Johannson, Greg Smyth, CJ Young, Chris Dahl among others. You have to give me credit for having a Flames "Bubba Can" in picture on the fridge!

Assessments should not be used to price your house. For one, by the time you get the notice its already at best 6 months behind. Its based on July 1st 2008, and especially in this market, its been coming down pretty hard the past 9 months.
Another thing I realized, is that the years previous when prices were going up, the city would have been behind there as well, so pretty much every property would have been under assessed those years.
Good luck with the house, looks nice.
