Property value reassessments by the county. Here in Florida, loss of homestead exemption or change in title triggers a reassessment. I bought an investment property in 2022, tax increased $3200 from previous bill. There’s a law that prevents a yearly increase of more than 3% in the house you live in. Many places in the country are taxing owners out of their homes. We need to get rid of property taxes.

Now I wait to hear from the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board, and they were supplied with the offer I got when trying to flee Illinois of $55K. Right now I'm stuck with the tax bill based on $71K.

[@AfroDeesiac]

It happened in California back in the mid-1970's... property taxes going up astronomically with very weak justifications for doing so. So, the citizens put a measure on the ballot, "Proposition 13", to set property taxes at a reasonable rate, to prevent property taxes from increasing more than 2% each year, and (most importantly) to make sure that various government bodies had to seriously budget their spending instead of simply going to the assessors to demand higher tax revenue. School districts, public transportation services, and government agencies fought fiercely against it. Yet, Proposition 13 passed, ostensibly because proposed property tax assessments were leaked to the press a couple of months before the election...probably by a county worker who saw how highly his\her own property tax was going to increase. Californians simply had enough. They suffered losses of automobile plants, military bases, and lots of smokestack industry. There was certainly a decrease in business tax revenue, and there still is with all the "tax incentive development district" deals handed out to entice companies to build . Yet, despite the passage of Proposition 13, California has since grown to become the world's 5th-largest economy. Expecting homeowners to bear the brunt of government budgets is not sustainable. Homeowners will fight back; even the laid-back hippies of lore in California got tired of it.
