And if you already have some land, they will raise property taxes so high you won’t be able to keep it

Put some trees on that land and claim an agriculture farming discount. It’s how the politicians do it

“And if you already have some land, they will raise property taxes so high you won’t be able to keep it”

I would like to think the property owners would revolt if this is the case. You can only tax people so high before the revolt. Example: American Revolution War

Property tax is conducted by the State, County and City governments. The citizens are in control of their local government officials via the elections. The local office holders would be voted out of office after taxes hit a Revolt Level.

Above is true unless Dictators take over. Unfortunately a lot of those have been popping up in our local governments over the last year.

That’s my biggest concern. On our 32 acres we only pay $248 a year. Fortunately, it is a county thing.

Too late for that. Property taxes here are legally raised 10% each year. A few years ago, exactly 50% of the houses in our neighborhood had for sale signs. We used to know everyone around but not anymore. Taxes used to equal 2 weeks of income. Now, they’re 4 months of income thanks to the CA invasion raising prices.

We hang on by our fingernails every year. The neighbors on one side sold some other property to keep this property. The neighbors on the other side were wanting to retire 10 years ago but have to keep working to pay the taxes.
