My wife and I recently moved out of Milwaukee County where we were paying $14,000 in property taxes to the country with a new and bigger house and acreage for $5000 in property taxes. I don’t see the appeal to living in the city anymore.
Still paying $5000?
You didn’t move to the country for real. We’re paying $22 for 8 acres with electric and a cabin on it. When we get the real house built, that will go up to about $250.
Once we do that, we’ll move the cabin to the adjoining 7.5 acres that we just bought but that will stay at $20 for property taxes because it will stay off grid.
Yes, this is per year. In the Ozarks of MO right next to the Mark Twain National Forest. Four miles of gravel to get to bumpy asphalt and another four to get to smooth asphalt State Road. 24 miles total to get to nearest small town.
Property taxes are the devil. They have to be one of the most communist ideas we have in this country. People just don’t seem to realize that in our “free” country you cannot, under most circumstances and in most states, own property.
