Entrepreneur and owner of 88 Drive-In Theatre Susan Kochevar discusses her property tax bill that increased 300% from $14,000.00 to $42,000.00.

This tactic is expected to persist, complicating the landscape for taxpayers who are often caught unaware. Kochevar, for instance, has experienced a startling impact firsthand, with her property tax bill tripling since the previous year.
