i still dont understand why you have to pay property taxes for something you paid off and "own"
seems like some bullshytI'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.


If my home valuable shot up out of nowhere, I'd just move while the getting was good.![]()

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.
yeah i actually went to yahoo answers
they need to call it a life or living tax or community tax or something.
either way, i think ima just become a squatter
some good houses out there if you know how to legally squat on a property. come to cali, we give squatters and tenants more rights than the fukking property owners
