You don’t really own your home after you pay off your mortgage - try not paying taxes on the house; find out how long you “own” the property 60 days? 90 days? It will be taken from you by law ..
Yep. And, around here, many people pay more in property taxes than for the mortgage.
And, when you point out to a Democrat that high property taxes keep people from owning homes, they say people who can’t afford the high property taxes shouldn’t have a house.
