My taxes are going up a whopping $277.38 after a $84,500 assessment increase.
The assessment is still at least $150,000 short of what our property would likely sell for, but that's the benefit of living in a newer construction and community as the city will take longer to figure things out.
I just pulled a few very recent sales in various communities to compare to their 2025 assessments (Beltline, Braeside, Evanston, Saddle Ridge) to show just how all over the map the assessments can be from their actual current market values even within the same community:
