Michigan has something similar to Cali's Prop 13.
5% maximum annual increase in taxes, CPI rate increase if less than 5%. It's a golden handcuff. The law took effect in 1994, right when we bought our house. So we're effectively paying half of what a new owner of our house would pay. Problem is selling. 3700sqft is way more than the 2 of us need, now with 4 kids gone. If we buy a house HALF the value, we'd still be paying the same as we are now. If we bought a smaller house of the same value, we'd have to pay double the tax we are now. Kinda messed up. And they say boomers are over-housed. Yeah, no shit. |

TX has high property taxes b/c of their 0 income tax.
CA has high income tax b/c they have Prop 13 which is a 1% limit on property tax based on purchase price with 2% annual increase limits which means a $10M dollar place today purchased in 1978 for $50K might only owe around $1800/yr in taxes. But if someone buys the property today, then it could be $100k/yr in taxes. CO had a great constitutional limit that prevented large increases in property tax and helped balanced the residential against commercial. The fucking libs voted it out in 2019. "Don't worry what could go wrong?" My property taxes doubled in 5 years. Luckily there are some ballot initiatives to help with this... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LibertyShip: Most of this is driven by the Cult of Public "Education." Teacher and administrative salaries and benefits, massive school construction projects, etc., that no one dares to question because it's "for the children," when it is actually for all the adults attaching themselves to the government teat. No one over 60 should have to pay a "school tax" regardless of the value of their property. And people who are sending their children to private schools should be able to back their tuition out of their property tax to some extent. Our community school (grades 1-8) has 84 students last time I looked. We don't have a high school, when they move on to high school they have to go to one of the two neighboring towns that each have a small high school. One has a football program, one has a basketball program; that's usually how they choose where they want to advance to. In the last decade, they have tried desperately to pass a $24 million bond issue for (get this) --- a freaking sports complex! Luckily we have so far been successful in stopping the bond, but as west coasters and citiots keep moving in, it's getting closer to passing.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HDLS: The taxes went up because the value of the house went up. The tax rate didn't change unless new local assessments were passed. It's still only a fixed 1% plus any local assessments of the sales price whether you bought your house 15 years ago or today and then yearly cap on increases. Yeah, like I said. Cheap if you bought when home prices were low. Buy anything in most of California today and you are going to pay a lot of property tax. And anyplace built recently will have Mello Roos on top of it. My mom bought back in 2004 in Corona for $375K. Her taxes have climb up to $6200 a year now. Zillow values the place at $660K. It's a small place in a retirement community. A similar place just down the street that sold in 2022 is paying over $8200 in taxes. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Concentricity: Why have the property taxes gone up that much? Taxes collected on asset "value" on an annual basis are the most unfair, destructive, and harmful taxes because the value of a home doesn't do the home owner any good when they are living in it. Value isn't income, it's not easily predicted and budgeted for and you may not get it when you do sell. The fucking government can either wait till you sell or come up with a more equitable and payable solution. The measly reductions are always very unhelpful to retired persons. Yeah, you stupid bastards are still taxing people out of their homes while giving tax breaks to large corporations (often foreign) to "bring" in jobs. |

What has changed in the last 20 years to make taxes go up? Cost of construction materials has gone up a lot. But mainly, more people demanding more and more infrastructure. New people moving in, people wanting more roads, more transit, more fire protection, more police, more schools, more government and more government employees. And its happening everywhere people want to live.

In Florida 20+ years ago in Columbia county my dad’s property taxes jumped massively, IIRC something like $300 a year to way over $3000 a year in 10 years. It was higher, I just can’t remember exact figures, for a 2500sq’ brick house on 2 acres.
He sold his house, moved 20 miles into Suwannee county and built a new house of equal value on 5 acres, prop taxes were approx $300 again. Lord knows what they are now. Ky offers discounts for elderly/ disabled military, defers $40,000 of your home value from taxation. But yes, property taxes are out of control due to out of control government spending, city, county, state and federal. Everyone bitches about not getting paid enough, but this is where higher pay goes, especially in government jobs, it goes into your property taxes, and a thousand other taxes, so does social programs, new buildings, nicer streets, bigger parks, stadiums and a million other gotta have bullshit, that’s nice, but not necessary, and very expensive. |

We have land and cabin there and have watched the taxes skyrocket after covid. It’s because all the mega rich are buying up land and paying 50X the price you could have got in 2019.

When I built my house on Amelia Island, my monthly mortgage (8.25% @ the time IIRC) + HO insurance was ~$800/month.
I paid my house off 13 years ago but now pay almost $600 for property tax, insurance (HO and flood.) It's not a financial burden just an emotional one (ie pisses me off.) |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By -Obsessed-: Is this another case of Montana just sat on low rates forever or no? I'm in SW Ohio and I pay $11k for 0.4 acres.  Damn. I'm also in SW Ohio, and mine are now $5700 for 5 acres. I also pay a 1% local school income tax. I'm retired, and my kids are in their 40's. ETA: My property tax jumped by about $1000 this year. There were two levies on the last ballot - one for the FD, and one for the schools. Much to my surprise and joy, both went down in flames. |

I pay close to 5K right now.....school just increased it's budget by 13%, so in Jan another big increase. At one point , it was up to 6K
They tripled our evaluation.........law requires them to redo valuation every 5 or 7 years...cant remember which. At any rate schools are the biggest [70-80%] of my tax bill. The land fill is closing in a couple years and we will have another big increase. I hoped to retire next June, but will probably have to work just to pay taxes. Taxation is not only theft, it is down right immoral !! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By colklink: Last Tuesday we had our primary, and ther were 2 bond issues. One to continue a property tax for fire, one for EMS. I voted against both, but both won by a 4 to 1 margin. WTF?

You think working parents have time to remember when the random local elections are held? |
