My taxes are based on the fact that my house is worth $60K ... I am afraid of the day they reassess my taxes!!! My co-worker had to sell his house and find a house in a smaller tax zone after he went up to $14K ... don't forget NJ has close to 600 school districts with various staff and what not making over $100K ... the problem started way before the current Governor!!!
