This from Loundon County VA, one of the wealthiest counties in the nation. Real estate taxes fund 72% of their budget but values dropped 10% last year with more drops predicted. Now they have a budget shortfall of $251 million. Foreclosures are up dramatically too.
Now imagine what it must be like for counties with far less money and resources…
