This might work for most areas in America, but where I live , if you contest your property tax, you had better brace yourself for things like forgetting to pick up your garbage, intermitten power fialures, water shortages, and so forth.

San Diego real estate was automatically reassessed last year, without the usual need for the home owners to file an application. Apparently the tax collector made the decision after being overwhelmed by requests. But either way I think it was a great result for San Diego home owners.
