Think your property taxes are going down this year along with your house value?

Think again.

The Oregonian has a good story that highlights why most people will see a property tax increase this year.

"As you watched your home value plummet in this recession, at least you could look forward to a property tax break, right?

Wrong.

The tax bills that county assessors across the state will be sending out next month will likely show drops in the market value of most homes, but that won't translate into lower taxes."
