SANDPOINT — Assessed values are on the climb in the Elmira and Samuels area, which is giving landowners a case of sticker shock.
“It more than doubled by net taxable property value,” said Bill Williams, who lives off the grid in a modest home with an outhouse and a pump well.
Williams’ assessed value climbed from $17,958 to $43,483, sums which factors in a homeowner’s exemption he is eligible for.
Williams said his property is being lumped in with other nearby properties that have upscale homes with all the amenities.
“I’m not there,” Williams said, referring to the more modern homes.
