Polk County Property Tax Facts – Rolling Hills Subdivision
It is my understanding the county contracts a private company/organization to handle the property assessments. In my experience this gives the county Plausible Deniability when nefarious practices are used by the private company.
In reality, per the Georgia and US Constitutions We The People elect our representatives and they are 100% accountable for the governance REGARDLESS of whom they decide to delegate responsibilities to. They are IN FACT accountable to We The People for any and ALL actions of their appointees and contractors.
2022 and prior years facts:
Land Values were based upon a mathematical formula that was logical. Any property under 1 Acre was calculated using the Formula: $0.46 * Lot Sq Ft. Lots over 1 Acre were calculated at a rate of $0.36 * Lot Sq Ft. This formula maintains a fair value for land based upon lot size and provides a true Apples to Apples comparison of property values.
Improved Values were based on Fair Market Values. Additions, adding SqFt of living space, bedrooms, bathrooms, remodeling, landscaping, etc. all represent the improved value.
2023 Land Value Calculation:
All lots were valued at $20,000, regardless of their size. Lots that were .25 Acres carried the same land value as lots over 1-2 acres. The formula used was clearly changed to an illogical calculation of $20,000/Lot SqFt = Land Value/sq ft rate. This is called Fudging The Numbers to return the desired value.
2024 Land Value Calculation:
All lots were valued at $30,000, regardless of their size. Lots that were .25 Acres carried the same land value as lots over 1-2 acres. The formula used was clearly changed to an illogical calculation of $30,000/Lot SqFt = Land Value/sq ft rate. This is called Fudging The Numbers to return the desired value.

2023 & 2024 Improved Value Calculation:
As a result of Market Manipulation or Market Influence which started in 2021, property values were artificially inflated. Home that have not been updated, remodeled, improved, etc. were assessed as if they were fully remodeled and renovated.
D.O.G.E. will soon expose the corruption I am going to inform you about involving HUD and County Commissioners/Government across the U.S.A.
Market Influence/Manipulation created by branches of the Federal Government laundering money to organizations like Blackrock, Statestreet Capital, and Vanguard to fund the overinflated purchasing price offered to people wanting to sell their homes.
These homes were then rented out for more than what the all inclusive mortgage payment would have been (Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance).
This caused rents to increase across the board as greedy landlord say an opportunity to capitalize on the artificially rising rents and on the government subsidies that would pay for portions of the high rent.
Government subsidies would then help people pay their rents, making people subservient to the Government or they’d be homeless when the social welfare was cut off. AKA The Bait and the Hook. AKA Marxism.
The ripple effect this had on the housing market resulted in an artificially over inflated housing market bubble that will pop soon.
For instance, all things equal my home was no where near worth what I was forced to pay for it, if I wanted to buy it in April 2022. In fact, it is worth closer to half of what I paid for it under normal market conditions. However market conditions at that time influenced the inflated price. My choice was buy this home or rent. Renting is not a viable option once you own a home and have experienced realized equity.
The county knows the values are overinflated and they are purposefully exploiting this to screw We The People out of more money to fund their fraud, incompetence, and corruption.
Worse yet, there is speculation that there is a collective cooperation to increase housing prices to the point people can no longer afford their homes. This feeds into the New World Order 2030 agenda slogan “You will own nothing and be happy”. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You’ll_own_nothing_and_be_happy
