Are property taxes basically extortion?

Property taxes pay towards maintenance of the roads that you drive, local fire and police departments, the school district, etc.. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
My property taxes are $5,500 a year, and they are tax deductible. That's three months of rent. One and a half if you live overpriced sandbox like California or an expensive dump like New York.
I'm in the process of selling my house and when it's sold I will have over $320k cash in the bank.
Renters won't have shyt when they're done paying rent for 15, 20, 30 years. They'll have just paid off someone else's mortgage.

Its not. Next useless comment.
Property taxes means you never own your house. You pretty much end up being a renter of the government. Even worse are HOAs and their associated fees, since they can auction off your house if you don't pay and you have to ask them permission for improvements on a property you 'own'.

Depends. If your house value is going up, then property taxes are ok. If somehow you been living in the same house for 20 years and the value hasn't gone up, you pretty much are allowing people to steal from you.

It basically keeps your neighborhood nice. That’s why you never ever hear republicans complain about property taxes because it keeps poor and black/brown people out
I don't understand this line of thinking. Everyone's budget will always include money for housing costs, whether it's rent, a mortgage, or property taxes. Property taxes are a lot less than mortgage or rent costs when you factor them in monthly. It's not smart to think you'll never have any costs associated with where you live unless you're a bum.So, your house is paid off, but you still gotta pay thousands every year or they'll take your house
