Nah, Washington State has reasonable property taxes compared to New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania. Parts of Philly are over 3% of the property value per year. They all have property taxes and state income taxes. No wonder people are fleeing the Northeast.
California will withhold 3.3% of your sales price on your home.
That’s $725,000 Gene will never see...
I did say SOME of the highest, and we do. Other taxes in this state are also high. But those may be comparable to Ca, it’s been years since we left LA so I can’t recall.
Then there’s what’s going on in Seattle every night. They are competing with Portland in a race for asshole of the country.
