Same area; a little over 10% increase for me.

Average residential assessment was up by 12% this year.

I'm pretty sure (since the percentage paid by residential/commercial are fixed) that anyone whose assessment went up by <12% will pay a lower share of the taxes and anyone whose assessment went up by >12% will pay a bigger share. So some of the big increases upthread might not be that bad depending on how big a % they are.

My single family home was up only 8%, so I figure after tax increases my taxes should be about flat this year, which I'm pretty pleased with.

I am in the same boat on area and assessment, but would never bet on no tax increase. I just assume we'll be paying more, notwithstanding the assessment.

The calculator had me down $34 on the year for taxes. But maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention.

I didn't put in the work, so I don't dispute what it said. I just think the assessment number doesn't really make that much difference. Taxes usually go in one direction...

Can’t really argue with that.

I'm pretty sure the calculator is a revenue neutral one. Ie it assumes that council will pass a budget with 0% increase.

I think that's a pretty unlikely outcome.
