Does it actually, though?

In practice - aren't tax rates changed based on politics?

Tax rates are generally changed by an independent political process (the municipal budget) which often has the power to increase/decrease the mill rate based on how much money is needed/desired. This doesn't change the fact that the mill rate does generally fall by a lot when properties are reassessed in areas that have seen a large property price increase.
