in many areas property values have dropped and local governments will be looking for ways to raise your taxes due to the pandemic…so make sure you dispute your property tax value and amounts each year with your county; we hire a service every year (really hard to get it done by yourself, cause we tried that at first) and they do not get paid, unless they get results/discounts; seems to have helped us over the years; you might be able to get some type of $$$ relief, from a lower tax value to help offset any rise in rates…hope this helps you !
