In 20 years, our Texas property taxes have gone from the equivalent of 2 weeks of take home pay to nearly 4 MONTHS of take home pay. That includes having them take off a shed that a fallen tree destroyed and a boat deck the flood destroyed. It would be a full 4 MONTHS pay if we had rebuilt these structures. As it is, we can’t afford minor home repairs as every dime is saved just to pay the taxes.
Yeah in Charlotte they just pulled the raise everyones house valuation. So they collect more taxes but can claim they didn’t raise the ‘tax rate’ the average increase was 40%
I think Property Taxes should be illegal.
