Received my property taxes in the mail. All the talk of how high they would be jacked up, I really dreaded opening it up. Well, push granny off the cliff! The taxes were the very same as they were last year. Thank you so much!
I am still not pleased with our government, as so many have lost so much. I saw on the news where the containers were hard to get to ship distillers grains across seas to China. Our distillers have been holding at a normal/high price. They had gone up to outrageous at one point.
I will be glad when this train ride is over. Seems like it has been one long tunnel.

We got our reassessment this week. Our land was the same or a little cheaper but our house was 150% of 5 years ago. I am going to ask for a hearing on it.

Good grief bull trader!! I have been thinking about the land taxes that I wrote about, which are in Tennessee, and I wondered if there were some contributing factors that held them down. One, our state is Republican and Republican controlled. Then seems I remembered that as we get older, our taxes would be held steady or the same when we reached retirement. I am 64 but my husband is older, so that may have something to do with the prices being stable.
Bulltrader, I too would look into that. That seems very unreasonable and it does go right in line with what all we have been hearing. I am sorry that I sort of bragged that mine stayed the same when you are suffering from a 150% increase. That is so dang high that I would be forever angry.
I do hope that you can get that taken care of.

Here they try some shady things to get the taxes higher. Plus they depend on only a small percentage of people will appeal the appraisal. I can map every acre and see what they are charging as woods, brush, grazing, hayland, cropland. Normally they are way off. 5 years ago one of the appraisals dropped by 35% after I done it.
This time I cut 15 acres of timber which should reduce the value of that land. But they missed a hay barn that holds 200 rolls so I don't want them looking a lot. But missing a barn that big shows they were never there.

That's a sharp increase, hope you can get something done on that. Good grief bull trader!!

I wonder if that's not why yours didn't move also. |

I kept them out of my old place with locked gates and chasing them away when they came. Neighbor kept calling them on me over and over. old farm was 3,500$ /yr and after they got in with the new owners they raised them up to $5,600.
houses I remodeled they were around 1,200 / yr and after they are now almost 3k. just insane. This town will make you pay for your sidewalk in town to be redone, and the street curbs. YOU HAVE to pay for that along with the high taxes.. nuts.
here I am at $950.00 / yr. much better. services? all the ones I had before.
