Property Taxes by State

- Start date
Wow, we're all the way down to #37 ! 
Property taxes are insane. We're at #47, which is still way too high. This list doesn't count any offsets or reductions. For example, my state has a homestead exemption where the first $150,000 is exempt. We also have a timber and agricultural exemption. Our property is worth considerably more than $400,000 and our property taxes run about $1,000 per year. It was $37 when we bought the place about 15 years ago.
How lucky am I, we are lucky number 7. 
Here, and I think about everywhere, the amount you are taxed on is a percentage of the real estimated value. A 400k tax might be on a 6 or 700k home.
No matter, property taxes are thievery. There is a big movement to abolish property taxes in Ohio. It is an up hill battle for sure. I doubt it ever happens but I've signed the petitions and helped get the word out.

What?! You don't want to be accused of bragging that Texas made it all the way up to #9 ?!I can't post what I'm thinking
I think they left a number out, our taxes are ridiculous.What?! You don't want to be accused of bragging that Texas made it all the way up to #9 ?!
Some of my posts seem to be getting deleted.I can't post what I'm thinking
Are you on a cussin' spree??
I think I did say the S word here somewhere. I think the truth is, I thought I wrote a comment, and I forgot to post it.
I just did the same thing it was still sitting in my queue to be posted. senior moment I guess???
I don’t think they give 2 shits around here
LMBO. I was thinking I'd leave that up to you. What do ya say?
Dammit, we give 3 shits. Yeah, we are over achievers. LOLI don’t think they give 2 shits around here
There is a C word and a N word that will get ya in trouble but otherwise post however you feel at the moment.
As a refugee from 'the other place', which had been overtaken by whining church-ladies, I must say how wonderful it is being able to speak clearly again with a full vocabulary.I don’t think they give 2 shits around here
I still have to correct myself from the habit of using 'munge-words' to escape their star monster, like saying:
"That doesn't mean a damthing to me."
Double check with Doc. Been here for 15 or so years now and never had a post deleted that I know of and believe me when I say this, I've had more than a few that should have been.
Back on topic, #3 here. Totally obscene.
Well, Tireretired got me back on topic. Gonna sound a little bit liberal here, but I get to see what our/my money is spent on...Wow, we're all the way down to #37 !
Haven't seen a single pothole in 6-years, we have great schools and zero-crime.
..... Other good news: evidently the house I live in is worth more than $400,000 .
It was my mistake. A couple times I would write a comment, then forget to post it.Double check with Doc. Been here for 15 or so years now and never had a post deleted that I know of and believe me when I say this, I've had more than a few that should have been.

Back on topic.
Florida property tax is wildly variable because each county sets its own rates.
I can't speak to the $400,000 chart above.
We do not live in one of the "trendy" counties, we have 5 acres with a double wide, two barns, horse stable, hay shed, wife's storage shed, chain link chicken area, 6 chicken coops.
Our county (Nassau County if you care to look), values the whole shebang at $76,000 for tax purposes but we could sell it for 3 times that in 10 minutes.
The way our taxes work is - a $25,000 homestead exemption, another $25,000 exemption for being over 65, and then the rest of the value is written off because our adjusted gross income is below the federal poverty level.
So, on our property all we have to pay is $189 to the school board.
I love living in the Free State of Florida.
