Before the house was built, the land was undeveloped and taxed at a minimal rate.

So, the fact that the property goes to a nonprof doesn't really impact anybody else.

What was 100 acres of farmland or undeveloped woods taxed at ?
$1000 a year?

Here on FR we talk about cutting taxes.
We talk about charitable giving.

Here someone gives a YUUUGE amount,
And you guys b!tc# about the amount of property taxes NOT REALIZED.
As if it's an actual hardship for others.

I don’t talk about charitable giving on FR; I have “charitable taking” from my income while I have to pay for everything for my family.

It may mean nothing in rural MO; this would be an issue here in NJ (and I was very specific about that).

Here in NJ our state government had to revise its whole budget because ONE MAN (David Tepper) left the state; the government was that dependent on the tax revenue from him alone. Ten years ago we watched the governor of NY and mayor of NYC fight to have financial firm bonuses paid despite the taxpayer bailout dollars spent to keep them afloat; they were that dependent on those taxes for their local and state taxes. And you know what? IT IS A HARDSHIP ON OTHERS; THEY ARE SQUEEZED FOR THAT LOST REVENUE. Why do you think everyone is fleeing the NYC metro area?

It is on Table Rock lake, which is probably the most beautiful lake in the Ozarks. Fishing is fantastic. So, a $1000 annually might cover it.
