Sorry, I must have missed this aspect of the current cap system. So not all homes in a particular area are capped equally? Is this a recent change?
I was under the impression that cap values for a particular area were determined by whatever formula they use and it was applied to all homes in that area. It sounds like you are saying that if a home is sold, that the new owner is taxed at an uncapped value. Is that true?
Obviously I'm not a municipal tax expert, just want to know the truth.
