It's ok to raise the possibility of a tax hike, but the zillow article blows it out of proportion with the "Taxes Are The Problem" heading. And it would have been nice to mention that anyone can look up what the SEV (and the before/after taxes) would be on the city website before buying. I looked it up myself, and with the NEZ discount in Indian Village, the hiked taxes would end up being about $4500/year, not bad at all for a huge historic mansion in a stable neighborhood. -Doug Way [Scripps Mansion Price Makes Finance Writer Sad/Scared/Scary]
