You’ve got high taxes there?
Good Lord yes. In the wonderful land of communism AKA Maryland, I have a single family home of 2800 square foot which is NOTHING today with 2 acres and the yearly taxes are 7500 a year.
THAT’s why folks are moving to Indiana!
I’ve 13 acres - two parcels.
1. 3 acres - classified as farmland (1/2 thick woods 1/2 power transmission line covered. Under them, my neighbor rotates planting corn/beans yearly. I get 1/2 the profit.
2. 10 acres, mostly wooded, that the house (1668 sqft + 720 2/3 finished basement) and barn (HUGE!) sits on.
We pay about $20 for the 3 acres and less than 2K for the dwelling parcel.
There is an ever increasing, highly vocal DEMAND for more services from the “You pay for it” sector in Indy; just as been mentioned in this thread.
When the elite wanted a new (Lucas Oil) stadium, a new 1% tax was added to people eating out - in Marion County.
Since we ‘donut’ counties supposedly BENEFITED from Colts games; we, also, got the thrill of a 1/2% tax as well. (No; I’ve never been to a Colts game.)
