Sounds like Pennsylvania. Same (bad) deal. We are currently in a fight to work up the votes to pass Pa HouseBill/Senate Bill 76 - which would completely eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania. The PSEA (Pa State Teachers Assoc) owns many of our legislators. It doesn’t matter to them that many people lose their homes to tax sale every year!

It sure doesn’t.
When I moved to PA, the first they did is DOUBLE my property taxes (just mine. Not my neighbors). I contested this as unfair, and went to an “appeal” with the powers-to-be - who said, literally “we’ll do whatever we want to do” and told me to pound sand.
