      A few months after I installed my tower in 2011 I received a new 
assessment from my county tax office telling me that my home's assessment, and 
hence my taxes, had increased.




the real question is whether they reduced the valuation of the neighboring properties, as all those anti-antenna people claim that towers reduce neighborhood values<grin>

(I'm well aware of Wayne Overbeck's analysis of property valuations and that there is no correlation between tower presence and valuation. I think it's sometimes promulgated as an excuse by a real estate agent as to why they didn't get the price you wanted when selling a house; or as a speculative immunization against this.)
