Unfortunately most of JC property owners have been assessed roughly 32% more property tax as compared to last year

2021 - total tax rate = 1.6% (city rate 0.60% + school rate 0.60% + county rate 0.43%)

2022 - total tax rate jumped 32% = 2.11% (city rate 0.82% + school rate 0.86% + county rate 0.43%)

For 2022 the city tax rate went up ~37%, the school tax rate went up ~43%, county tax rate stayed the same.

They only assessed the higher rate in Q3 and Q4 that's why you're seeing the bigger property tax bill now.
