As an aside, I've always found the Assessor position being appointed by the town BS. Terrible conflict of interest.
It can go up incrementally 2.5% over one year, but over, say, 10 years, it can go up exponentially.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
