Thanks to Ben Cunningham for passing along this story about how some folks in Tennessee are reacting to receiving notification of large increases in their property tax assessments. Specifically, the following quote from one property owner whose assessment went from $70,000 to $200,000:
It was worse than getting an IRS audit. It was like getting a heart attack in the mail.
I’m guessing this woman hasn’t actually been through an IRS audit.
