I live in the Champaign/Urbana area south of Chicago. A $225K house will get you around a $5K property tax bill. Might be closer to $6K in Urbana.
That’s why Californians invade Nevada over the sierras like a horde of locusts. Based on current sales patterns in my neighborhood, I can sell my house in less than a week for 800 kilobucks easy, not even debateable, yet my tax is about 1500/year. I also have 5 acres on a lake in north eastern nevada and that costs me 40 bucks/year
