Absolutely true. Several recent short-sale buyers I am acquainted with rec’d their first full tax bill (after the supplemental bill was issued) reflecting an assessment of $80K to $160K more than the price they paid for the property.
Even the Assessor believes that short sales are sold at prices ridiculously under market.
There is virtually no way for these recent SS buyers to appeal their *new* assessment, either, because the recent sold comps support the higher assessment.
