Not naive. I read everything in my town and participate in TM etc..You pointed out where someone raised a rate of tax based on an error. Had someone entered the information in the computer correctly it never would have happened. Someone somewhere saw a discrepancy and it was changed. Just like when my house was re-assessed for being sold and the assessor found out they weren't paying taxes on the 3 season screen porch.
I'm betting that the house was under assessed to begin with. Suspect you only heard one side of the story there. I suspect that a database spit that house out as being under-assessed based on comparable sales in the neighborhood. While your house didn't change because it was more than or the same for comparables to your house.
I've never ever in 21 years of home ownership in 3 towns seen an instance where they changed my property taxes because of a need to increase available funds. not once.
I'd very much like to hear what bigfish is railing about. You and I can go round and round about this all day long. It's bigfish that doesn't understand how it works.
