If you've been paying 30 years into a community and a mortgage by the age of 65 you've earned the right to go without having to pay property taxes. All the money that you would otherwise spend should go to your elder Care. We don't need you out on the streets begging because we stole your house. Because of a tax you shouldn't have to pay.

[@serenitycox217]

You make a good point, though I think the issue comes when thinking about people who inherit homes or land. Those people haven't paid into the community at all yet, they are presumably going to benefit from the property without having to had put anything into it...

Being depended upon and accountable to people can be kind of challenging it seems for an ever-increasing population of dependent people... Some communities need more help than others what does the funding mechanism look like. I am all about having a hard look at this. teachers aren't getting paid near what they should be and the benefits aren't very good either anymore they just keep taking bigger and bigger chunks of money out to provide your benefits it's getting to the point where we're going to be paying to go to work.

Based on income and the amount of children you have?.. lots of ideas here anyway... But that would have to be further fleshed out through legislation, or within communities. The point is this is a convoluted issue with many things to consider and work around. I'm not at all saying this is a bad idea by any means.

That isn't entirely true. In many counties, the school tax portion (which is usually the largest portion) goes away at 65 (some at 62). While this exemption is based on income, that income limit is generous. For example, in Gwinnett County you can make up to $117k and get this exemption.

[@bruced4994]

I didn't see anything in Georgia state law that talks about income affecting a property tax exemption. I see where if you are a 100% vet, Georgia will give you an property tax exemption exemption up to $117 K of the value of your home, but with the avg home value being above $400 these days, that's still a lot to be taxed on. I am a 100% disabled vet, I live in Gwinnett County, and my property tax went up $500 several months ago. If I was retired and living on a fixed income, I would probably have to sell my home because I couldn't afford the property tax increase.

There is a very well versed attorney/accountant Mr. Mitch Vexler in Texas who has a movement with petition and has filed court cases to rid property taxes. He hopes to take it to Supreme Court. Many States have had a surplus budget for multiple years. Did anyone who pays Real Estate Property taxes get a large reduction in their property taxes? We think not. Shame Shame on Every State municipality that is grossly fleecing the Elderly, Veterans, Retirees and Homeowners with egregious Real Estate Property tax bills! Where are the State representatives to put a stop to this madness??!! People ARE losing their homes. WHY SHOULD homeowners have to pay ridiculously high property taxes to compensate for commercial buildings not paying their property taxes!!! The municipalities MADE the BAD investments and allowances to those businesses NOT the Homeowners!!! How can these crooked tax assessors be allowed to overvalue someone's property by hundreds of thousands of dollars, when they are not investors and those homes are their only homes. NOT ALL States have HOMESTEAD, not sure WHY??? But Why should an elderly person, over 60 years old, only on Social Security/Pension, who only has one residence, be charged $28,000k per year for their home! Anyone 60 years of age or older should not have to pay property taxes at all for their homes as that is their only residence. Property Taxes, HOA Fees, Condo Fees, Overpriced homes, are making hard working taxpayers lose their only property (Home, Condo). How can it be legal to suddenly raise Condo fees by 40%. How can it be legal to raise HOA Fees by 50%. Many areas are becoming like Detroit and Mississippi - desolate and empty as the working class is continuously fleeced. The vile tax assessors are getting multi-year promotions using Taxpayer dollars because these tax assessors ARE Overvaluing people's properties to bring in money to the municipalities. They don't care that people end up homeless (many veterans and elderly) or their home comes into foreclosure because they had to borrow against equity and credit cards to try and pay their property taxes or HOA or Condo fees. Any representative in office who has an issue with keeping the elderly from losing their home should be shamed. Where are the State representatives to put a stop to this madness?!

Not long ago in the 60s, 70s, the use of water was free and the irony of all is that since the country is located in a geological basin, there is a large volume of groundwater that could provide for everybody but it has not been utilized. Governments could not care less, they are just talk, no action. Both of them the former communist parties, their offshoots and the so called right side. Water in Hungary is still good quality but who knows what they put into that. There is enough water on this planet to provide even for 10 billion people. The only thing that is needed for water treatment to be potable is energy but the u.s has enough energy, she just has to be a bit more independent. Everything is about energy and I know there is free energy but it has been suppressed, but hopefully within the next decade or 20 years we'll be given access to that but change has to come now.

Instead, it was widely imposed, and used to grow federal govt power that nobody votes for. At the same time, they created the Federal Reserve and started creating the national debt, which was at ZERO in that time.

Strange how I happened across this today. I’ve been in a correspondence exchange with my local Property Appraisers office concerning this very subject. Particularly the multiple school tax assessments. Governments appetite to spend our money for, in many cases who knows what, is insatiable and all they have to do is pass new milage rates within the statute guidelines. Anyway I realize they are just administrators following state laws, well sort of, so it’s our state legislature and governor that need to hear from we the people. I’m requesting the county budget line item by line item that comprises the tax and therefore mils, applicable statutes and their written policy as a start. Im well into my retirement years and this theft must stop! I was still paying my mother’s tax in her 90’s. You think she could have lived a better life without that burden? Yet as you say. Don’t pay and they confiscate your property and sell it. After working hard your whole life, paying your mortgage and insurance and the government can do that to you?

[@rosafalls8068]

Go over to Real Estate Mindset and watch the videos on property tax fraud and schools. They are setting up free help to protest your tax appraisals. One of them is suing, probably, up to Supreme court. They are in Texas, but their issues apply nation wide.

Funding should come from income taxes and not from property taxes and many of the loopholes should be eliminted.

[@chasl3645]

If you've been paying 30 years into a community and a mortgage by the age of 65 you've earned the right to go without having to pay property taxes. All the money that you would otherwise spend should go to your elder Care. We don't need you out on the streets begging because we stole your house. Because of a tax you shouldn't have to pay.

[@polly8844]

I've been saying the same thing about the elderly paying property tax. You would think the government would be embarrassed to even think of taxing the elderly on PT never mind taxing social security twice. Enough is enough it has to stop.

[@buddyroeginocchio9105]

One demographic problem is that property tax measures are also voted on by non property owners. Renters pay property tax trough their rent, homeless pay zero as do most illegal aliens yet they vote.

Eliminating property taxes for primary residences would be a good thing. Eliminating property taxes all together would ensure that no one will ever own a home again, as people and companies with more money will buy up all of the property and there will be none left for anyone else. Here in Michigan we already have a problem with second home buyers taking all of the available inventory, driving up prices, and driving residents out of their communities. Without property taxes, investment companies would scoop up even more than they are now because it would decrease the cost to hold those properties. After the land was stolen from my native ancestors, my family members were given small individual allotments. No sooner did they do this than property taxes were instated and the allotments were taken away. My ancestors were left with no place to exist on the earth. It took generations for our family to regain ownership of a place to exist. The more people that came the higher the cost went, keeping it just out of reach. Then came the resorters and the investors driving costs even higher. Our children will never be able to afford a home. They do not have the same access to opportunity as those from outside our community. Even if they could acquire a property, they would never be able to keep up with the property taxes. Therefore, I would urge you to only consider eliminating property taxes on primary residences.

Another item is Vehicles. At least in most states. If you purchase a vehicle in most states, if you sell it even 10 yrs old+ they will access tax based on the value its being sold on, I've heard of a state or two that access the tax based upon the MSRP regardless if you sold the vehicle for a dollar. THAT I don't know how that is legal let alone lawful, the two are not the same. for example, "at one time it used to be LEGAL to own slaves in this country, that does not mean it was lawful" Lawful attaches a morality where legal/illegal is based upon someones policies. The same can be said for the "legal Dictionary definitions" of Laws vs Statutes, Ordinances, Policy's, rules, codes, regulations, and everyone's favorite - Mandates. Law is based upon crime, whereas the others are based upon policies. A crime is ONLY committed when you hurt someone, damage or cause injury to someones property [Both of which are stated to be financially related], or commit fraud whether written, verbal, or in an action taken place. If you haven't done any of those things, or a combination thereof, you've not committed a crime, therefore not broken the Law. If you were speeding, which is a part of the VEHICLE CODE [ANY STATE], that's not breaking the law, that's violating a code.. with subsequent statutes attached to it

Shae you are impressive all the way around. Best wishes to you, & thanks for the meaningful subject

[@william629]

I figured South Dakota would be leaning towards something like this as well. Perhaps South Dakota will be inspired by North Dakota. As long as the current regime in Michigan is in power, I'd be surprised if we see property tax eliminated here in Michigan. With that said, I'm more than willing to put up a fight for this cause. Just tell me where to sign, who to donate to, and where to show up! Subscribed!

[@p.t.anderson1593]

1. Property seizure and eviction enforced by a Sheriff based upon non payment of taxes, in my case - around 10k over three years, is incredibly disproportionate considering the value of the property. To me, it's mind blowing. There is no incentive to the state to go beyond covering their back taxes at the auction. You've just lost the balance, great. 2. I almost wouldn't mind paying my property taxes if the input was reflected in the results. Unfortunately they don't seem to and it doesn't look like more money would change that. The public schools are turning out too many subpar graduates, with their heads full of nonsense and ill prepared for everyday life. The roads... I shouldn't even get started on that. We all know... 3. Renters voting for property tax increases thinking that they don't pay property tax, OR, that they are going to stick it to their landlords... crack me up. Thinking that they are going to get the rewards without the cost... Oh bless their hearts.

[@Nonsensically]

I live in a state where our school system is paid for through property taxes. In said state, the taxes dedicated to schools go into a pool and the suburbs end up subsidizing the cities school systems. Where it might cost $15k to educate a pupil in the suburbs, it will cost $25k in cities. The amount of was, fraud and abuse in schools is palpable. There should be a yearly audit in all school systems. Boggles my mind the insistence for free before school care, after school care, breakfasts, lunches & sometimes dinners. I guess pb&j or a cheese sandwich is too expensive for parents these days.

[@JesusAlways1st]

I agree property taxes should be eliminated. Even so, they would create another entity, up the sales taxes, city tax, license plate registration, add more street cameras to collect from those who run red lights; don’t stop completely at a stop sign, speeding… Who knows, they might bring back the food tax 😳

[@davidisrael1165]

Property taxes are illegal given it "was" based upon a sales tax. The rest is fear.

New York State need to but they call it a star by the Government to reduce County tax but the School tax is 7 thousand dollares. 4 thousand $ is county tax. We pay the amount of tax according to what the houses of the sale is selling for.. If you're not selling it.

More massive layoffs are coming along with job elimination because of AI. I believe governments globally will be decentralized in the future and religious institutions will be no more.

[@cmax9630]

I would like to see property tax done away with. Our government is robing home owners by forcing them to pay property tax. They don’t care they are rich and it won’t affect them.

[@cathyann6835]

In my state, most of your property tax goes to the school. It might decrease our property tax by 25%. I think once you become disabled or retired, so shouldn’t have to pay property tax at all. You’ve already been taxed for about 30 years. Taxes will still be too high when you’re on a fixed income.

[@ohthankg-dforthebourgeoisi9800]

No one can make improvements to their home or property without having property taxes reassessed and raised. So you get taxed on the labor and materials used for the improvement and then the improved property also gets a higher tax. So you get taxed twice on any improvement due to your home or property.

[@ronparedes966]

Here in Santa Fe, the revenuers are using Google Earth Pro to look back in time at satellite photos and compare them with recent images to see whose property has changed. They use an algorithm to find the changes then they look up each changed property to see if the owner informed them about the "increased value" and if not, the entire property gets reassessed at today's market value. And, they are so proud of their scheme that they announced it in their "pat on the back" yearly newsletter!

[@jamesolivito4374]

Everything they say we should pay for like the roads should be paid for by the corporations. They benefit from them the most and would not be able to do commerce without them . All property taxes are for.is to let you know you don't really own anything.

[@johningle1]

This is huge because if you own property and there is hyper inflation, your property tax could become some ridiculous figure like $500,000 every year and you will default.

[@tampapropertygirl3422]

Florida does not access property taxes on disabled veterans. That's huge and I don't believe a lot of people know about it.

[@reneegunn95]

Sales taxes can also hurt jobs and the economy. The problem is government structure and spending. Businesses can't continually run in the red but government agencies can. Businesses are competitive and yet mindful of the bottom line. That is what needs to happen in govenment.

[@jacoblynch9862]

What I don’t understand is why don’t you just pay a flat tax fee on your house when you buy it like every other product that you buy why are you taxed every year on something you are supposed to own how this problem got as bad as it is is what astonishes me why did we the people let this happen to begin with, that’s what I don’t understand. I understand what those taxes go for, but maybe just maybe the federal government needs to tax us less and some of those taxes need to go to our state to fund things like schools and our police force but the simple fact of property taxes, you technically never own your own home that’s just wrong, you’re the one paying for it, but if you don’t pay those property taxes, your county can come and rip you out of your house that is wrong and the people need to take a stand against tyrannical dictatorship

[@serenitycox217]

I do believe this is a good thing to advocate for. Though I have to say that I really feel like this is something that could come back to bite us if not enacted with great consideration. For instance I don't believe that this would have the desired effect if not paired with a limit to the amount of property one could own. That would leave too much room for the wealthy to buy as much as they want, without there ever being a legal way for the government to keep that in check. Also I strongly feel as though companies and corporations should be exempt from this relief, as they are presumably never going to have to worry about not receiving enough income, and if that does happen they will likely move elsewhere anyway. But I do completely agree that we (the people) should absolutely only have to _buy_ something once.

[@R.C.425]
