It's becoming more and more clear that property tax in and of itself creates a moral hazard which creates all manner of seen and unseen destructive consequences: bloated spending you describe, wanton levels of government debt and, something I've only been introduced to recently, appraisal fraud. I started watching a series of videos on YouTube by a Mitch Vexler who runs a development company called Mockingbird Properties. If you go to mockingbirdproperties.com/dcad you can view more videos and legal briefs in support of property owners. This a large and complicated problem that the vested interests do not want to examine on any level.
Thanks Mark. Yes, we've seen it and others and understand what is starting to be uncovered regarding property taxes. We plan on talking about it in future posts. Are counties working WITHIN true property tax assessments for their budgets. OR, are they creating "property tax increases" to meet THEIR budget needs/wants? Lots of property tax manipulation being done across the country. Government spending has become entitled and "entitlement spending" without true consent.
Will be interested in learning about per person levels of bonded indebtedness in Gwinnett and around the state. Also, I'm just learning that the appraisal profession has professional standards; but is adherence to such standards backed by force of law?
Thank you for your continued analysis on all the ways that Gwinnett County continues to WASTE and abuse Gwinnett taxpayers. As you wrote, Gwinnett does not GENERATE any revenue...they simply tax and abuse Gwinnett residents to pay for any and all of their pet projects. DEI anything should be shut down as President Trump has signed an executive order addressing that. I hope ALL Gwinnett residents appeal their property taxes and today, July 7, 2025 is the last day to submit an appeal. These money grabs are legalized THEFT in broad daylight. As you previously said, the hardworking residents of Gwinnett ought to REVOLT! This is ABUSE!!!
