and always remember that when you stop paying your property tax that the government will come and take your house and sell it to someone else. It is all legal you know.
Concur. Theft by government is everywhere.
IF you have a mortgage-—they IMPOUND the Property Taxes & Insurance-—to protect their investment.
WHEN YOU OWN YOUR HOUSE FREE & CLEAR-—The county then sends the tax bill directly to YOU & you pay it directly. Most counties allow 2 payments-—some allow 4 payments.
I have owned this property for 18 +++ years. The assessment info come in about January-—the actual bill comes in July. First payment is due in August—then October—Jan—March (IIRC). I can pay it in one payment-—sometimes 2. Current tax on 5+++ acres/house/garage/well/septic/power/fenced, etc is $805. Annual increases are held to 3%-—expecting new bill around $830 or so.
This county also has “HOMESTEAD” allowed on your property-—Paid for or not. Cheapest insurance you find against someone trying to sue you out of your home.
IF anyone tries to sue me—bogus or not-—and they force a sale-—I get the first $500,000 + out of the sale.
