I believe property owners throughout the USA will be seeing sharply increased tax bills. The local governments have done very little to cut expenses during Obama’s depression.
The Tea Party folks must continue with the message of Limited Government.
Otherwise, government at all levels will bankrupt us.
Can the government just arbitrarily raise the property tax rates in Illinois? In Ohio, I don't think I've seen a property tax increase that wasn't approved by a voter levy.
Last year, in Summit County, Ohio, they lowered the value of my house by $1,500. But they raised the value of my lot by $10,000. I wonder if we have a “Senior Exemption” here?????
I wonder if Patty voted Rat the last few elections, but no worries, the Rats will make sure the newly homeless will be able to vote without a street address.
Chicago is....huh?
I live in Indiana and my property taxes went down this year.
3K sqft home on 10 acres on a lake, $1400/yr.
Thanks Mitch!
Perhaps this is just an example of reaping what one has sown...
Illinois, a no right to work blue state.
You all deserve what you all get.
HIGH TAXES, low employment.
In Florida property values have dropped 50% but our property taxes are higher but no increase in services.
Government of the suckers, by the leeches.....
Suckers. There’s a reason why it’s called Crook County.
Sorry, I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for people who have been voting for Democrats since the end of the last ice age.
The one good thing about living in CA is Prop 13 which limits property tax increases to 2% per year max.
They promised you omlettes, and you said “Yes! I want that!”. They didn’t tell you your life savings were going to be the eggs.
Mine went down in New Hampshire due to good negotiations by the selectman with the police and teacher unions. Not much, but they went down.
Here in FL property taxes are tied to real estate market values. It’s real low right now...........
After Mother passed away, the taxes here doubled. Now, one year later, they doubled again.
You can’t make an omelet unless you break some eggs.........
There will not likely be any relief in the near future.
I would be looking to move to a less greedy state.........
