Yeah it was my reassessment year this year too for most of my properties. Still dropped...

That's the thing though, it's not just my area, even my properties in Logan dropped which makes zero sense. My bill at my residence fell back to just above where it was in 2011 when I bought it for $136k despite it being reappraised at $500k+ two years ago.
One of my properties the assessor was kind enough to tax as vacant last year because I had it under construction (have no idea how they even figured that out since it was also vacant before I bought it and being taxed as occupied). That alone dropped a $2700 tax bill down to $800 for last year. The county literally sent me a check for $1900 that I just got in the mail because my bank escrow overpaid the bill...
I like this Kagei guy lol...
