Take a moment to read this discussion of property taxes.
In my area, there are fees for fire. It’s a flat fee of about $400, to pay for the fire department. That’s not an ad valorem tax, so it isn’t based upon the value of my house. All homes in the area are charged this flat fee. Commercial and apartment buildings pay different rates. That’s as it should be- everyone receives the same service, everyone pays the same rate.
This is what I imagine taxes becoming if Amendment 3 passes. Everyone pays the same rate for the same service. The cost of services divided by the number of tax parcels should equal the amount of taxes everyone pays.
