Got my assessment today taxable value went up 1.05 percent reason why is the 1.05 is the inflation multiplier Really!!!

Rip off here

Up 3% minimum every year

Over $4000 last year

My house value according to the county went up $50,000 this year. Bringing it to a grand total value of near $200,000. We paid $52,000 for the place in 2013. I don't know about inflation, but the county assessor must have stopped at the bar for lunch before he came to my house.

We also owe money on income taxes this year (over $2,000). I have claimed 0 my entire working career and never ever owed a penny ever. I guess I will have to cut back on my lavish style of living to pay more taxes so others can sit at home.

My property taxes went from slightly under $1200.00 per half to over $1440.00 per half. It's around $520.00 more for the year than last year, which is a huge increase. I just paid them last week on the 27th.

Yes I understand the state evaluation and subsequent raises just don't recall seeing an inflation multiplier before maybe bryce will set me straight on this

They really should send out a packet or two with your property tax bills. link

Mre like a 5 gal. pail

Mine went up 18% again! If someone came along with something even CLOSE to appraised value, they would own it! They have my old shack valued at $350k.

I've seen some contest their valuation and get the taxes lowered

I always figured it would backfire on me

I have contested my valuation every time they raise it. Usually lower it a bit but not much. At least with a mugger you got a chance. With government theft you dont have many options

I doubt I can set anyone else's assessments straight but for me I have our main home which has an estimated FMV of 141K and is assessed at 108K. Our 2nd home is assessed at 30 K and has a FMV of 33.3K Taxes are 1604 and 500 respectively. We did not have an inflation adjustment figure but our FMV of our main home did rise about 15K, but almost all residential properties did so the mil rates went down and overall taxes did not rise as much, but could be setup for future years if values stay up.

As to big raises in property tax? Property tax is a state and local issue and assessments are asked for and paid by local units of government to secure a taxable base and help determine mil rates etc. So being that local there could be many ways each local unit of government deals with establishing values and rates and when the changes or assessments are done. Some of you or other local units could have had assessments completed during the time when many houses were selling for as much as 20% over asking price a year ago or so. If you get caught up in something like your FMV could rise a lot. How the mil rates get set to bring in the budget money is the real deal when values are going up rapidly.

Doorbell rings the other day and I didn’t answer. I see a guy wandering around my property and I go outside to ask him what he’s doing. He says he’s the assessor and was measuring my fur shed…I ask if he gets shot at very often wandering around people’s property unannounced!

way too high.

over $500/month

They have to do assessments from a public right of way here unless you give them permission to enter your property. I think now they have drones they take with them.

Wisconsin is high property tax the roads are crap to many pot holes not enough of patches.

they patch my road all the time cause the patches only last about 2-3 weeks before they are gone and need patching again.

We bought our home about 5 years ago for around 150k. The current assessed value is 240k, up 60k this year. Our actual taxes went up 22%. I'm with Patfundine, I'd sell at the drop of a hat if the offer was on the table! Quit my job and live off the state til you suckers run out of money!

Property taxes in southeast PA are sickening. A modest two-story home built within the last fifteen or twenty years in my area will get you an annual real estate tax of over $10,000.00, sometimes way over.

You never really own your home. Even after the mortgage is paid you have to keep paying those taxes. If you don't the sheriffs will come and take your home from you and sell it.

You have to remember President Hair Sniffer even claimed that all of you Billionaires are going to pay!!! UNLESS YOU ARE HIM!!!

Mine are $13,000.00 a year. 4 BR colonial on 28 acres.

Ours went up $534.00 this year. We've only got a 1/2 acre but a newer 2 bedroom house$ 2,600 a year. We have 60x80 shop with a couple acres a couple blocks away. It went under $186.00
Sky high oregon

Yup! And I hate that! I just told my wife a few days ago, once we pay off our mortgage we’ll still have to pay $500 a month for taxes. Big time ripoff!

Maggots !!!!

4300 last year

County assessors went nuts this year.Every property owner in Mn. is seeing this.
We have a 17 billion dollar surplus!

Hard to argue that property values have not increased substantially. Tax rates could be reduced to achieve a zero net increase or maybe a modest inflationary increase. Lots of municipal job salaries have skyrocketed. Policemen start above $45,000 in my city and nobody is taking the jobs. Wonder what another fire truck will cost?.

Hard to find anything that hasn’t had a cost increase.

..and some fall further down the ladder rungs.

mine went up 12% about the same as inflation

Thanks for posting that.

I have a newer 2 story 4 br on 26 acres.
we pay "only" $8800.
Now that I can see it truly could be worse I don't feel so bad.

Going up.

I have 172 acer and a 3 bedroom house built in 2015 and 3 out building I pay about 3000, I thought that was high until I saw you-guys post

I have 30 acres and pay 1998 but now it dropped to 1600 because I don't improve the outside of my house!. Why should I give more money to this crooked State.

My evaluation increased for 2023 by $255,000.00 and I have done no improvements to the property for over 25 years. That is a 66% increase in value. My taxes for this year increased 22%. I have a small 2bedroom, one bath home and live on 2 acres but have 125 feet of lake shore. I am not the only one getting stuck like this. Many people are seeing a 300 grand plus increase in valuation here. Not happy. MN with such a huge surplus too.
And then to add insult to injury, the democratic legislature is looking at bills to take away our firearm and trapping rights. Living on a fixed income with these taxes, I will need my firearms and traps to survive.

You guys are making me feel better about mine. I built our house here in East Tennessee in 2012 4bed/3 ba on 8 acres for $150,000, its appraised at $186,000. I could sell it for twice as much or more. I pay $1,650 in property tax. Have a little shack on tbe Muskingum river in Ohio that i paid $25,000 and taxes are $280 a year. I am no longer gonna complain about mine

2023 Property Taxes by State

NJ wins, if your the government. NJ loses if your a citizen.

Hearing some of these stories makes me feel better about my property taxes. In WV my taxes on a $250K home on 2 acres + the taxes on 137 acres that is separate that I use to hunt is around $1400 a year. On the flip side though we have roughly a $0.37 a gallon taxe on fuel, a 6% state sales tax 1% local sales tax, and we have state income tax.

Mine went up a few hundred this year and that's with the exemptions.
Insurance also went up because value went up.

Ours have doubled in the last 5 years. Wealthy nonresident’s paying astronomical prices for land here have been killing us.

1200/yr. house is worth about 300k

own 4.9 acres with a $400,000 house and I pay $7900 a year.

Well, guess i'll remain in my cedar swamp

Property taxes are really one of the worse.
Hard to keep up for lots of the retired.
Its criminal when one has to sell out cause the taxes have risen so much that one can't afford where they have lived for decades.

I own 60 acres with half tillable, a couple barns and a 2 story house. the taxes are $4400 a year. I also own one acre with a house a unattached garage and pay $2400 a year for that. That house is a double wide trailer.

I set on the Peoria County farm land tax assessment review board. I thought I could make a difference and try to speak out against the higher taxes here. Each year the state of Illinois raises farm land taxes 10%.That is the maximum they can raise the tax by law. Each year I go to the board meeting and tell them I do not approve. They tell me to sign the paper saying I attended the meeting. It says; I ________________ approved of the tax rate given by the state of Illinois for the year ____________. That's it. No voice. Our county tax assessor told me I can come up with a new tax plan for the state of illinois if I want to. CROOKS!!!!! They are all in on it.

If you have at least 15 acres here, you can get in greenbelt which cuts your taxes by app 75% on land. I recently closed 99 acres that was half pasture and half woods with a creek and their taxes were $388 and if they had put an average 3-2 house on it probably would have raised it about $1200 to 1500. No state income tax or vehicle tax but things are selling out fast.

My property value has doubled in the ten years that I've owned it. Makes up for the losses in my investments since uncle joe took office. You would think that with the hundreds of new homes built in the township each year and all the new taxes they create that the overall tax would decrease. Our township service to its residents is one police officer and a volunteer fire department. No water, sewer or library. I live in the country. They are now buying land to create parks. Parks that they can put ball diamonds on to rent to little league teams. Even a dog park. Who needs a dog park when the minimum lot size is two acres. All these PUD's are required to have a percentage of there land as communal property for their use. They can pay to put playgrounds and ball diamonds on their own property's. Don't get me started. Sheesh.

You gotta love it when you tell the appraiser to find somebody that would pay that. Got more moves than a circus bear. Gasp and moan worse than a broke church organ. Property tax here is horrible. Works out to 1.5% of the nothing about it fair, market value

cny rate is about 3.1 % per 100k assessed value for school and county

Charging you to own something, that you need permission to use, that you need permission to improve, that you need permission to maintain, don't really seem like ownership to me.

I can trace my family name, in a direct line, to a corporal in the Continental Army, that survived the entire revolution. I wonder sometimes what his opinion of me would be for tolerating this stuff.

Is their any relationship between higher property taxes and no state sales or state income tax?

Not here in KS Charles. Almost 10% sales tax and an income tax. Our tax burden has gotten horrible.

what are your taxes on a 100k house in kanas

In my county right at 1500 a year.

cny 3100. sales tax 8%

Not here either. We have them all big time.

$3,125 this year for a 3 bedroom 1 bath ranch. Up $767 from last year. They bend us over far in Dutchess county N.Y.

High school taxes are rougher when the school system is bad. In my area, One school district has a great reputation, across the street is another Which is really bad. Same school taxes around 7500.00 , but the parents in the “rough school district”. Send their kids to private. Coatesville SD being the war-zone school district and Downingtown, the more desirable. Very important for. New home buyers to see exactly where school district lines are drawn.

Well after reading all this tells me some people have to much house! Live in a less expensive house. I use to have a big house and it seemed like I was working for the house!! ,so I got rid of it now live in a modest house in the woods no one to impress.

Don't think folks on here bought houses to impress anyone

Our valuation went up $100,000 from $409,000 to $509,000 this year due to "market adjustments." 5 acres with a 26' x 36' house and a couple sheds about the same size. Thankfully the county doesn't know its a timber frame (I told the assessor it was stick built, he didn't ask what size "sticks" I used) and I they don't know I finished the basement otherwise I'm sure I would be in worse shape.

taxes and more taxes government thirst for more and more its hurting us all , its gotta stop i hope like was said we got people that cant keep up and lose thier homes and land that they have built and saved for a lifetime. our coutry is full of people that are decedants of imagrants that came here to get away from excessive taxation. i agree its not right.

Take 10% of my income to pay the property taxes on the farm. I may be smart to decide it and build several houses on it to rent or sell out. Get rid of it at the highest profit and move to a small piece of land in the western states where there are miles and miles of government land to Rome on. But they have water shortage issues out there.

Most people in rural areas of the west have a well or spring.
