BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Have you received your property tax assessment in the mail?
Were you surprised at the assessment? If so, Boise mayor Lauren McLean says she's hearing from residents left and right who were left shocked and surprised.
"I’ve been hearing from a lot of Boiseans who are receiving their property tax assessments and seeing increases of 10%, 25%, 35% and even more," McLean said. "This is unacceptable. We’re doing everything we can with the tools we have at the city to keep people in their homes. These rising tax assessments put a strain on family budgets."
The mayor also appeared to take a shot at Idaho lawmakers.
"It is incredibly frustrating - beyond frustrating - to be doing everything we can to provide relief to residents, even adding a new circuit breaker program, while those who can provide transformational property tax relief and address rising assessments fail to do so. We'll continue to advocate for real solutions for families.
