you can bet your property taxes will go up more than 3%.

Mine are not yet up to where they were 34 years ago. They were lowered when I turned 65, 13 years ago. Property tax is assessed by county and I live in red county Illinois. My son owns his home and pays zero property tax (as a disabled war vet, same county)
there is no break for seniors unless you and your spouse bring in less than $40,000 a year or have a disability etc....
the $40thou figure hasn't changed in a decade even though everything else has gone up....
its like the $200 death benefit from SS....
seriously, we may have to get a divorce on paper so one of us who has the lesser "income" can be the sole owner of the house to avoid the taxes.
