Imo you pay property taxes when you sell, rent, and buy and it should be significantly more than they are now, but the yearly tax thing is weird to me. If you are considering capital gains taxes when you buy/sell a property then you shouldn’t also be ‘renting’ it from the county. Technically you are renting the land from the county if anything, but that the taxes you pay on a property goes up when the home goes up really hurts people in a way it shouldn’t. Especially when so many rich people /companies get so much out of it when the property tax is such a small % of the value they extract. That being said the taxes usually DO go to help the community a lot more than other taxes. It often funds schools and other things, which imo is wrong because it harms education in cheaper areas.

Income TAX….property TAX….sales TAX….and now our county is implementing an equipment tax for commercial lawn mowers, tractors etc. Its getting beyond ridiculous. I bought a property two years ago to live on and operate our small business out of. The property was is disrepair. Im handy, so I spent approximately 18 months, out of pocket, fixing it up for my family. County came by this year and tripled our taxes. We didnt change the use of the property, didnt rezone etc, just cleaned up, painted, new doors/windows, built a fence etc etc. i now pay mthe equivalent of hundreds of dollars per month to the county because I didnt want to live in a dump. Its sickening

My dad when he was alive, built a wrap around porch on his home. They increased his taxes till it was equal to paying for that porch every single year. Punishment for improvements. How stupid is that. That is why some people just leave it as is.

Yes the outside of my home looks from the hood, wooden pallets over the windows and garbage everywhere (junk) but I only renovate the inside. I worked as a real estate agent. I know how these assessors games are. I could care less what the front of the house looks like but the back and the inside is gorgeous.😂❤ and they lowered my tax bill to only 1300 because they said it looked like a crap

@@rrrealqueen You're lucky they didn't cite you to clean it up. That's their next opportunity to add to their coffers.

A few years ago in Santa Monica, CA, they wanted to add a VIEW tax depending on if you could see the ocean/beach from your windows. Now you see homeless encampments from your windows.

My wife and I bought a 35 acre property with a house and a few outbuildings. We added a 1/2 acre pond a little over a year ago. Our assesed value went up $ 274,000 on our next tax bill. Not up to $274,000..... up that much from original assessment. That's a joke.

Why does it take exposure to have this error corrected? Such incompetent agencies.

The town knew what they assessed his property tax at. They didn't think he would go to the media about it. The township wants to get those properties and sells them to a developer.

How in the heck did it stay at $1800 at any point in the last 15 years? A modest home in Cook County? Would say 8K minimum per year unless a senior.

Same thing happened to us this year in Arlington WA. Our house is worth like $275,000.. and last week we recieved our assessment report saying that it's worth $1.9million. We appealed it, and they found a huge computer error all over our area. It's been fixed. but, wow.

Yep, we should contest every assessment. It's a scam. They price it crazy knowing half the people wont fight it. Gov. pockets get full.
