Just the government digging deeper into your pocket and lying about it as they go.
Glad it worked out.this happened to me in 2008 when i bought 25 acres of woods across the road from my house in howard county. i bought it as ag land and it had always been ag land. my taxes went from $280 a year to around $800 I think. i went to county building and asked why, they said since it was across trhe road and i actually owned to the middle of the road on both property's it would now be excess residential to go with the 5 acres of rural residential i already owned. i filed an appeal, told them i was gonna harvest trees and plant new trees they said no problem and changed it back to ag like it had been since the original land patent was granted in 1849 by z. taylor. they acted like they wanted more tax money but if i was gonna make a stink over it and file appeals it would be easier to just change it back.
did you file an appeal?Mine was changed from an to residential this year in Miami county. Tried claiming it as a tree farm as well and they basically said to pound sand. So stuck at residential until I figure something else out.

I got what I asked for. Surprised the Hell outta me.Did you appeal to the PTABOA or just argue it with someone in the assessor's office? It seems that anyone here who appeals and shows up for the meetings is granted what they ask for.
