And how do we feel about no state income tax now?
Whether through property taxes or income taxes, the State will get theirs. The difference is how cruel property taxes are on retired people. Total tax burden is remarkably consistent across States and directly relates to quality of schools, roads, hospitals, etc. Want a super low tax burden, move to Tennessee. Just don't complain when your kids get a 2nd grade education in 12 years of school.
Here is Colorado I pay about $1500 a year in property taxes and 5% in Income taxes. When I I retire some day my income will drop down to a real low number and I will only pay the 1500 (plus something for small income.)
In Texas that prop tax doesn't go away when you make less money. You get disabled or try to retire... better suck it up because you are still paying for that house every single year, even after you die.

Just for grins, I looked up the values for the house my wife and I are renting in Hollywood Heights:
Improvement: up 30%
Land: up 40%
This is for one of the smallest houses in the neighborhood that's in moderate condition. I hope the owners fight this because that's a crazy year to year increase.

Got a 1.92% reduction. I'll take it.752bro4 said:
Went in with a over-stated market value and an unequal valuation based upon my street analysis.
Asking for a 12% reduction, expecting a 0% reduction.
The whole property tax thing aggravates the hell outta me; its like a multi-headed hydra; you have to fight the budgets of these governmental entities that are driving tax rates, you have to fight the improvement values, you have to fight the land values, you keep getting exemptions lowered and lowered. This whole system is broken; especially when you have high growth areas. It is a relic of times past when property values and local growth were more stable from year to year.Deats said:Cant fight land...hatchback said:
