However, you state that the boroguh appraisers want to tax everything to the limit. That is incorrect. The borough appraisers want, and are required by law, to assess (appraise) all property at market value. While taxes are certainly the result of the assessment, they are not a concern of the appraiser. Good article though, Thanks Steve Steve Van Sant State Assessor Marty,
