Is there any way I can get my land tax bill lowered?

The property taxes are based on the assessor's computation of the market value of the property. If you think the assessor is high go there first. After that there will be an administrative appeal process.

Probably NOT but you can try by contacting your local property tax office in that are and ask them how you file an appeal to the raise in your property taxes that just happened recently and ask them how what procedure you will have to do to try and get it lowered at this time in your life.

In most counties (cities) there is a board of appeals to which you can protest the assessed value of your real estate assessment. Often times, in order to successfully have your assessed value reduced, you will need to conduct an investigation and prove that other properties, similar to yours, are selling for less than what the assessed value of your current property has been pegged at.

Your assessor should be, and I might add, willing to assist you in this endeavor and explain the process which you must pursue in order to have your assessment reduced.

I would let them have the land, why pay for something you can't use. Have a lawyer draw up papers giving the land to the city, with clause stating that if they sell it and let it be developed they will pay you full price for the land. Make it worthless to them also. You can fight city hall, you just have to be smarter.

you can apply to the county to lower them due to the lack of use of the land

or donate the land to a non profit organization and get rid of it
