You people do not understand that BY LAW property Taxes applicable to Local Businesses, to Local "Taxpayer" By buying a house you are not automatically become a "Taxpayer", unless you operate a Business and making a Profit and Actually required to File a Income Tax in Their Jurisdiction!!!.. For Any TAX Assessment "TAX RETURN" (by County/Township) for that YEAR is REQUIRED BY LAW.. These so called "Property TAXES' misapplied for 80% pops and moms houses.. Eating and Sleeping in your house is not Taxable "Ad Valorem" Activity. READ your LOCAL STATE LAW who "TAXPAYER" is.. It is a State Created Entity = Business. /Corporation..

[@TheLethargicAge]

If your “ownership” can be taken away if you don’t pay your property taxes, then you don’t “own” your property-you’re renting it from the government. Addendum: we have a debt-based monetary system that requires inflation (ie, constant increase of currency supply) in order to maintain the illusion of growth in order to support unlimited government spending. This causes the nominal value of your property to get inflated every single year, which allows your local government to justify increasing your property taxes. The Fed fears deflation because it increases the cost of debt. It seeks inflation in order to help the government inflate its debt away-this is the Fed’s real mandate.

[@henrythegreatamerican8136]

That is the intention. They need to keep you "in the system" at all costs. Property taxes should only apply to commercial real estate and to people who own more houses than the home they are living in. The government can find other ways to raise revenue. And no, I'm not getting into the cut spending debate. I already discussed a solution where we implement a wealth tax on assets on people who own over 10 million worth of assets

[@REaton03]

If you own your house and have less than 3 acres you shouldn’t have to pay property taxes. If you own more than one house then you shouldn’t have to pay property tax which ever house is your primary residence you shouldn’t have to pay tax on. They got to get this figured out a little better because older folks and people getting taxed out of their houses is completely unacceptable and inexcusable. One of the issues in my local county is that if you are over 65 and you move in from anywhere to the county you don’t have to pay school tax no with that being said at the same time the county is always screaming we need more money ok so instead of taxing the locals to death on property tax’s why not require that when you move here from another state you have to live in the county for a minimum of 7 years before you can be exempt because the move ins build million dollar mansions and it raises the tax’s on everyone in the area except most of the people moving in because most are retired. That’s unacceptable to the locals and unfair to them as well it also makes it hard for them to remain in the county as it drives up home prices so much that the local economy can’t keep up to pay for housing.

At the very least property taxes should be eliminated on a full time state residents primary residence if that property is paid in full. After all, if you don't stand to lose your home to the bank for non payment of the mortgage then why should you be at risk forever of losing your home to the state for not paying or not being able to pay the property taxes? You shouldn't. I know some folks fear rich folks will benefit but it's one primary residence for a full time state resident, not ten vacation homes or rentals etc...Of the very few people I know who have their home paid off in this scenario it's not the wealthiest as they tend to think having a mortgage benefits them on income taxes so it's those in their late 60's and up who have worked to pay off their home over 20 or 30 years. This might also encourage some different financial thinking and community building rather than house hopping every five years. Homes were never meant to be commodities.

It's like you read my mind! I was thinking this same thing today. My property taxes went up 25% I assume because my Township realized places around me have gone up in value. I didn't see anyone come around to do a revaluation so, I assume my Township just did one from the office! Then I said to myself "this is like being taxed on unrealized gains!" It's the same thing if your not selling. It's great that the value went up but, if you aren't planning to sell, you wont ever realize the gain BUT, you'll certainly pay the increase in taxes. They are on top of that! It may be time for my 3rd tax appeal against my Township! I'm 2-0 so far!

Its clear to me that giving schools more money is not the answer, we need to fire these high paid school administrators that can't balance a budget, can't get our kids to pass a test and don't teach our kids the skills they need to survive in the working world. They are not earning their exorbitant salaries not even close. This is part of why Kamala lost the election she didn't even talk about this problem.

If you decide to sell you can also take the difference between market value and the current taxable value of your current home and apply it to another home in Florida. In my case this amounts to about $300,000 and would then reduce the taxable value of my next house by that amount if you purchased a home of equal or greater value. The taxing bodies can still increase the tax rate. How would you suggest we pay for schools, police, court system, fire, roads and parks?

Great point. I never thought of it as taxing unrealized gains. Once you realize it, it becomes obvious that property tax assessments need to be based simply on the purchase price of a property and limited to a 2% maximum increase per year. To be fair, it shouldn't then go down just because the value of the house goes down. If all property taxes were tied simply to the purchase price then there would be no surprises. This would also discourage people from overpaying. Exemptions to a reassessment like the passing of property from parents to children would still exist.
