Rob of the Say Anything blog based in North Dakota, where he
told how he booted the Minot city tax assessor off his
property:
So I asked my wife to put me on the phone with the
gentleman from the City of Minot. He got on the phone and
said that he wanted to check through my house to see if my
property taxes needed to be raised. I told him I wasn’t
comfortable with him going through my house, and asked him why
the City of Minot needs more property taxes. After all, didn’t
we just get $300 million in property tax relief from the state
legislature?
He told me that the state has actually been cutting
spending (we’ve had a 54 percent increase in general fund
spending over the last four years!) and that’s why the city
needs to tax more/spend more.
My response to him was to say that he could remove himself
from my property and assess my home’s value from the
street.
