Will there be any relief for home buyers/sellers or just current residents who perhaps love the area and their home but due to the high cost of taxes make it hard for them to keep the mortgage paid.

Example for a 259k home why are the taxes $4400? This is highway robbery. Who is benefitting from this? Surely not the residents of this area. Who is working on behalf of the residents to help them to be able to keep their homes?

New construction is around in the area but it is even hard for the builder to sell because the buyers see the taxes and run. I love this particular home but please is there anyway “FOR THE PEOPLE” the taxes can be cut in have at least so that the people are not overwhelmed with a huge struggle just to keep their homes? Please help.
