own 4.9 acres with a $400,000 house and I pay $7900 a year.

Well, guess i'll remain in my cedar swamp

Property taxes are really one of the worse.
Hard to keep up for lots of the retired.
Its criminal when one has to sell out cause the taxes have risen so much that one can't afford where they have lived for decades.

I own 60 acres with half tillable, a couple barns and a 2 story house. the taxes are $4400 a year. I also own one acre with a house a unattached garage and pay $2400 a year for that. That house is a double wide trailer.

I set on the Peoria County farm land tax assessment review board. I thought I could make a difference and try to speak out against the higher taxes here. Each year the state of Illinois raises farm land taxes 10%.That is the maximum they can raise the tax by law. Each year I go to the board meeting and tell them I do not approve. They tell me to sign the paper saying I attended the meeting. It says; I ________________ approved of the tax rate given by the state of Illinois for the year ____________. That's it. No voice. Our county tax assessor told me I can come up with a new tax plan for the state of illinois if I want to. CROOKS!!!!! They are all in on it.

If you have at least 15 acres here, you can get in greenbelt which cuts your taxes by app 75% on land. I recently closed 99 acres that was half pasture and half woods with a creek and their taxes were $388 and if they had put an average 3-2 house on it probably would have raised it about $1200 to 1500. No state income tax or vehicle tax but things are selling out fast.

My property value has doubled in the ten years that I've owned it. Makes up for the losses in my investments since uncle joe took office. You would think that with the hundreds of new homes built in the township each year and all the new taxes they create that the overall tax would decrease. Our township service to its residents is one police officer and a volunteer fire department. No water, sewer or library. I live in the country. They are now buying land to create parks. Parks that they can put ball diamonds on to rent to little league teams. Even a dog park. Who needs a dog park when the minimum lot size is two acres. All these PUD's are required to have a percentage of there land as communal property for their use. They can pay to put playgrounds and ball diamonds on their own property's. Don't get me started. Sheesh.

You gotta love it when you tell the appraiser to find somebody that would pay that. Got more moves than a circus bear. Gasp and moan worse than a broke church organ. Property tax here is horrible. Works out to 1.5% of the nothing about it fair, market value

cny rate is about 3.1 % per 100k assessed value for school and county

Charging you to own something, that you need permission to use, that you need permission to improve, that you need permission to maintain, don't really seem like ownership to me.

I can trace my family name, in a direct line, to a corporal in the Continental Army, that survived the entire revolution. I wonder sometimes what his opinion of me would be for tolerating this stuff.

Is their any relationship between higher property taxes and no state sales or state income tax?

Not here in KS Charles. Almost 10% sales tax and an income tax. Our tax burden has gotten horrible.

what are your taxes on a 100k house in kanas

In my county right at 1500 a year.

cny 3100. sales tax 8%

Not here either. We have them all big time.

$3,125 this year for a 3 bedroom 1 bath ranch. Up $767 from last year. They bend us over far in Dutchess county N.Y.

High school taxes are rougher when the school system is bad. In my area, One school district has a great reputation, across the street is another Which is really bad. Same school taxes around 7500.00 , but the parents in the “rough school district”. Send their kids to private. Coatesville SD being the war-zone school district and Downingtown, the more desirable. Very important for. New home buyers to see exactly where school district lines are drawn.

Well after reading all this tells me some people have to much house! Live in a less expensive house. I use to have a big house and it seemed like I was working for the house!! ,so I got rid of it now live in a modest house in the woods no one to impress.

Don't think folks on here bought houses to impress anyone

Our valuation went up $100,000 from $409,000 to $509,000 this year due to "market adjustments." 5 acres with a 26' x 36' house and a couple sheds about the same size. Thankfully the county doesn't know its a timber frame (I told the assessor it was stick built, he didn't ask what size "sticks" I used) and I they don't know I finished the basement otherwise I'm sure I would be in worse shape.
