I'm glad some locales are looking at alternatives to property taxes. I know what property taxes pay for. There needs to be another way, whether or not if what is owed continues to be calculated by the value of the home (not that I'm in support of this). Otherwise, you never completely own your home.

i gotta letter from the two weeks ago saying they did a reassessment of my house and it's worth 80,000 more.

that's cool, hell that's great -- IF i'm looking to sale the property, but right now all it did was raise my fukking property taxes.

Glad you brought that up. If you make certain upgrades or additions, whether you're making the home more liveable for yourself or to make it more desirable to sellers, you're hit twice. You're basically penalized for making improvements to your own home. :stopitslime:

If my home valuable shot up out of nowhere, I'd just move while the getting was good. :ooh:

i still dont understand why you have to pay property taxes for something you paid off and "own"

Its for revenue generation for the government no more no less. The guise of property tax was the simplest method of rate setting and collection.
