Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

    Really? Isn’t fraudulently paying less in taxes, stealing from the government? I thought Al Capone went to prison for tax avoidance.

      Tax evasion and a dispute over property valuation are not the same thing either. Tac avoidance is legal, think loopholes, evasion is not, but i think you knew that and intentionally used the wrong term.

        Pretty sure fluxuating your property valuation depending on your need is actually illegal and not just loopholes. But i think you knew that.

          Nobody knows that until sometime after the next three-five appeals. Besides, assessed value is for taxes, real value is for loans.
