A Florida woman was left feeling like she had been 'baited and switched' after a property tax hike meant she had to sell her dream home just a year after buying it.
Tamra Ransom told WFLA-TV that she bought the perfect house in Polk county in May last year.
Then her property tax was hiked by 174 percent, from $2,700 a year to $4,700, making it too expensive for her to continue living there and forcing her to put the home back on the market.
She told the outlet: 'It's very upsetting because I put most of my savings into the house.'
Property tax is assessed on the basis of a house's value and a city's tax rates, if the value of the property goes up, property tax goes up too.
