(You don’t need us to tell you this; you already had your heart attack when you got your tax bill.) Multifamily was hit the hardest—initial appraised values went up 22% over 2013 levels. Land rose 21.4%, retail increased 18.5%, and office valuations leapt only (is our sarcastic intonation coming across?) 17.8%.
