I think Chris (Descant) explained it.
I didn't have a clue how that timing thing worked.
But from his post, I guess the new budget number and new assessment figure affects the December bill, and not the July bill.
The only way to lower assessments is to get people to not want to move here.
Probably some legislative action could be legal; but not sure that it would get broad support.
But like you pointed out, a lower assessment may just mean a higher rate and the same actual tax bill.
