“That’s what most of my property tax is.”
By what percentage?
For reference, In CA I’m paying 1.24% of my assessed value; the 0.24% are the bonds, etc.
What’s that look like on your bill?
For all that we’ve got no annual reassessment, I actually think getting rid of Property Tax altogether is a righteous thing to do; while it elevates daily costs, it only does so by a percentage of spending. Getting rid of 1.5% of hundreds vs adding 7.85% of annual consumption means grandma and grandpa won’t get run outta their house for a delinquent Property Tax bill. Ever.
That’s a righteous victory, if you ask me.
“Getting rid of 1.5% of hundreds” of thousands...
You made me look. The school and bonds are about 43%, so not most, but way more than what your saying. Of course, there’s no stopping the public school rape of the taxpayer in the future, either so if there were any relief, it would be brief.
