Um, your property tax info isn't even in the ballpark. A million dollar home, minutes from the beach in Jupiter will pay around $8 or $9K in property taxes.
Um I’m looking at my proposed property tax bill from Palm Beach County. Are you telling me that your unsupported opinion is more accurate than the letter I just received from Palm Beach County?
What’s the property appraised at? $33K is a really high tax bill for the home you’re describing. Really high. Unless it’s on Palm Beach or on the water in Naples.
Just telling you what everyone around me just paid in Jupiter last year.
A little over 2 mil
Still seems high, but I’m not going to doubt you. Maybe really recently appraised?
We’re still probably at 50-60% appraisal value vs. current market value.
Outrageously high.
Californiastan recently had a tropical storm. And they have had tornadoes. Danged near every state east of Colorado has had a tornado. Even NY state!! So, those things are everywhere. Yes, we have had three major big T’s near us. But thanks to our LORD Jesus Christ, we have been safe with no damages short the top of one Y shaped tree and no injuries. So, even my wife who spent the grand majority of her life in WA state where we met, is not afraid of being here and loves it here. So, no worries. I could get crushed on the way to Wally World some morning. So, crap happens and it happens everywhere.
Hooau. Thanks for caring about us.
LOL
Sounds like Ogunquit or Portland.
Two of the main drawbacks to Florida right now is Home Owner’s Insurance and Car insurance. Whatever breaks you got from low Property Taxes is more than eaten up by the two I mentioned. Not mention Florida is overcrowded and I have no desire to go there into that mess.
Looking at many states its surprising how many hits they’ve taken since 1950 even Florida where tornado reports seem rare but the FL map looks a lot like Alabama. .
One place around Asheville, NC is almost twister free but its way too close to my otherwise sweet and Godly MIL. ;
I’m the otherwise ... ;-)
This VN combat vet thanks you for that.
Same here brother. CIB, Purple Heart, C Company, 3d Bn, 12th Inf, 4th Inf Division, at An Khe, RVN. 1970. Welcome home brother.
Rockland, Rockport and Camden.... I’m ashamed of my home town but I knew it was a liberal shxthole. I left 43 years ago.
Southern Maine is worse.
Ashville, NC is in the mountains. Sometimes mountains protect towns in the valleys. My hometown, Anniston, AL is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It is located in a valley as well, between two different mountains (most would call them hills, but around here they are mountains, big, big hills stacked around us), and they have not had any twisters IN town either. But, all around there, there have been many. Here where I live, north of Anniston, we have had three, one which hit the college, Jacksonville State University, just three or four years or so ago. It did major damage on the way up a small valley right up to the college, destroyed several buildings, churches and homes, and ripped down thousands of trees. Sometimes, where the town is located, can affect its weather directly.
Asheville, NC is also super liberal. A couple of years ago they voted in support of reparations for blacks. There was a move to defund the police and 40% of their police force quit and they had a 31% increase in violent crime. Typical liberal town. They probably have pornography in the city school libraries too.
