Property Tax Reform Panel Hears from Homeowners
No one is happy with their property taxes, it would seem.
The New York City Advisory Commission on Property Tax Reform came to Brooklyn on Oct. 15 to hold a public hearing and hear first-hand from homeowners about unfairly high tax rates, inequities in the ways property values are assessed and the negative effects the system has on the quality of life in middle class neighborhoods.
Several elected officials were among those who testified at the hearing or submitted written testimony, according to residents who attended the session, which took place at Borough Hall.
