Protest those property taxes if they look high.

BTW - Instead of letting his opposition protest him, he puts them in jail . . . sound familiar anyone?

@jonathan Be careful with this new bill AB 1506 they are trying to expand those Rent Control lawashttp://abc7.com/news/boyle-heights-tenants-protest...I hope this doesn't happen there. 

Many jurisdictions allow contiguous property owners to file a protest petition and stop you dead in your tracks unless you negotiate a deal.

I have two different attorneys that do a lot of these, PM for their details.The value is always considered as of the "tax lien date" which is January 1st of whatever year you are protesting. 

The Moving Fee as a form of income to low income family is a toxic pill because 1_the moving fee is taxable by the City and State 2_Additional income could get their Earn Income Credit and Housing Assistance reduced and disqualified  3_Additional income could make the low income family disqualified for Medical benefit which force them paying out of pocket for Obama care or penalized by IRS for being uninsured.In that meeting, only small owners showed up giving testimonials and protest.

Otherwise, you may have some residents protest possibly forming groups against your raise and bringing it to the attention of their city council and/or congressional representatives.
