Property tax assessments were mailed out yesterday. Turns out we live in a "trendy" neighbourhood and will be taxed like the yuppie scum we are. According to the government, our house is worth almost $40,000 more than we paid for it two months ago! That's some impressive appreciation.
I've already printed out the form we have to submit to appeal the assessment. I look forward to fighting city hall. If we lose, well, I guess I'll take the assessment to the bank and see if we can use all that instant equity to pay for my dream kitchen renovation.

Hey, Susan, I wanted to let you know I'm enjoying keeping up with you from afar... (Wendy L. forwarded an email from Tom with your url).
We fought city hall on one of those assessments once in Richmond and won, so I say go for it. (Then they raised us the next two years and we couldn't really disagree, given what houses were going for in the neighborhood...but that one year's grace was worth it.)
Good luck!
