Yup, hotels and Air B&B’s and such have taxes built in. Resorts have an extra “resort tax”. Property taxes are off the chain though, and should be eliminated. Why I gotta pay fort other people’s kids to go to school?
Property taxes are too high and the outlandish employment in counties needs to be analyzed. Heck the county my parents live in has a full time arborist. Schools are outrageous also. Full of administrators who push paper and nothing else. Each one of us needs to scrutinize our local government. Like DC they are probably full of folks that have no business being employed.
I’d bet every county and city of all sizes have lots of waste, i.e. people that should not be paid by the county for positions that really can’t be justified or should be done by private sector.
My question also. Except it usually goes like, "Why do I have to pay for other people's kids who aren't even citizens to go to school?"
In addition to property taxes skyrocketing here (forcing many retirees out because they can't afford the increase on the condo they bought back in 1995), insurance has doubled in the past four years so my HOA has skyrocketed. My place is paid off, but if I add my HOA + property tax together, I couldn't make enough renting it out to move to another place. It's really ridiculous. I guess these "Wyoming LLC" guys know something I don't.
