Assessments must be done at fair market value based on property sales. With the RE market where it is, the towns wouldn't be able to do much to increase the assessed value of homes. Also, there would need to be a Proposition 2 1/2 override for towns to increase assessments. See if that would get passed by voters.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
