The Post has details of the Finance Department's tentative assessment roll for fiscal 2010, which shows a 1.2 percent drop in the overall value of all city properties, from $811 billion to $801 billion. But thanks to the recent property tax hike and carryovers from previous, booming years, small homeowners will feel the burg. For example, the market value of one-family homes fell 7 percent, but average taxes on those properties are up $265 to $3,483. Taxes on two-family homes jumped 4.9 percent after their value dropped 4.7 percent. [NYPost]
