    In the USA, no. Taxes, of any type, once in place, rarely ever come down or are removed, even when they’re for a specific, limited purpose. A notable exception is Trump’s reductions and eliminations of federal income and other  taxes on the ultra wealthy.

      We had our condo re-appraised during the Great Recession to reflect the lower “current market value.” The rate per value remained the same but the tax bill went down. We had to pay the assessor, but iirc we went in with a group of people in our building and he charged a group rate since most of the work was duplicate.
