I think some of the data is just old: my house is listed with the tax assessment for the previous owner.
But all the tax bills are published (though in a harder to navigate format) on the country website. I went and checked all my neighbors property taxes there when signs against a modest tax increase for road fixing started going up in the neighborhood.
As for property tax drop: there are such mechanisms, like those in the Mills act. They’re not easy to use though

You can compare in zillow which lists it year by year (though some data is missing).

I looked up Mills act, it is for designated historical buildings.
These are cookie-cutter houses, all built by the same builder during the same year in the 90s. No designated historical buildings here, so that's not it.
First year after being built in the 90s that house paid near $3K in property taxes. I'm pretty sure there is no mechanism for it to actually pay $900 in property taxes in 2024. It's just bad data in the system.
