Homeowners..... What do you pay in taxes???

[Orangecnty250r]

Well I just got my tax bill on my house

School Tax only went from $4900.00 last year to $7000.00 due this month. Increased due to my renovations and a 27% school tax levy increase this year. With my property taxes that bring it close to $ 10,000 yearly :( . I now have to hold off buying machines for a while because of this and stick to buying the parts to the ones I have.

My house is 3200 square feet and I have an additional 1600 square foot building all on 30 acres. How does this compare to around the country. I'm :mad:

[bigredhead]

Hahahaha... sucker.

I paid 1000 last year and 1200 this year.. for property tax alone that is.

[Billy Golightly]

About 3k for the piece our house is on and another $304 a year for the adjoining 80 acres.

[350Xhilaration]

Now I dont feel so bad...we're building a new house that's about 2700 sq ft / unfinished basement with a 3 car garage and we're hoping taxes will be <= 5k.

Our place now is around 2400/yr 4 bedroom 2 car garage. Nothing great on .25 acre

Thats just it.... it seems like city prices. I'm 80 miles north of the city, My proprrty borders hunting camps and state land in a semi rural area. Its ridiculous. Billy $304 for all that land is sweet!!

[atczack]

I got twelve acre's in Fort White, Fl. with a 3 bedroom/2 bath double wide, and it cost's between $400.00 and $500.00 a year after homestead exemption. In the next county south of me it would easily be over $2,000.00....

[smokinwrench]

I pay about $2,500 per year for property taxes, 2500 sq ft house 2 car garage unfinshed basement. I also pay about 500 for housing assoc. dues.

Now vehicles in Ks are terrible. It cost me $597 last year to pay tags and taxes on my 2003 Dodge Durango.

[Trikeaholic]

Around 2k for our almost 3k sq foot, 5 acres and an old ramshackle barn.

[jeswinehart]

450.00 a year for my place. ( sorry no pics - it is dark out now ).

My parents bought this place in 1962 when i was 7 years old.
I bought it in 81 from my mom ( dad passed ) and it has been homesteaded taxed under my name ever since.

I had to pull 1 permit (eletrical-hired it done) back in 83.
Each year - bar none ,,, my property tax's go up a little (very little) and my wife will read the tax bill and point out the little clause down towards the bottom about if you dispute the increase ,,,, file or come to this hearing. She says "you need to talk to them people" and each year is my stock answere is NOOOO friggen way ! And I'll go thru the whole thing each year about assesment/not moving/homestead in Michigan.
When I had the place upgraded outside 7 years ago I asked about tax/permit stuff and was told all was considered maintence - no permit needed (all new windows-siding-roof-55 yards of concrete driveway + more) ,,,,
I reckon having the mayor do the work might have something too do with it,,,
what the heck,,, he do good work !

We now pay around $640 a year in Taxes. They went up $150 this year due to a new school levy.
Howdy

[250rAL]

$460. Went down $2 this year :w00t:

[Dammit!]

Under a grand. Not sure exactly off the top of my head. It's only a 1500sf 3bdr, 2 car garage with a pool. Not sure the lot size but it's not big at all.

[Maine_Triker]

I think 1700 for us... 2800 sq. foot house not including unfinished basement + 1400 sq. foot garage on 2 acres.

[Hornetpowerspor]

About 1600 per year for a 1600 sq ft farm house and 60 acres.

[Orangecnty250r]

This one and all the other quotes are bumming me out. Great for you guys but very bad for me. The discrepency in prices is even wider than I expected even within my own state. The school here tried to pass a 32% tax levy increase this year and it was denied so we got hit with the 27% back up austerity budget (big woop). Well anyway I'm adding three more bedrooms and taxes are sure to go up every year so I can wait to see what this will be within 5 years. Man think of all the toys this could buy :cry:

[Yamahammer490]

We're at $4500 for a 3000+ sq ft with 3 car garage on a 1/4 acre city "postage stamp."

[86250RZ]

Man you guys have it bad. Do ya'll have Hostead Exemption? That waves the first $75,000 of your property cost ( land and home) and all you pay taxes on is the total amount over that here in Louisianna.

[Billy Golightly]

Our place is under homestead exemption too. They are talking about raising the tax rates and stuff here, I think its suppose to take into effect sometime next year. And from what I understand its gonna be a real squeeze. I can only imagine what it will go to if they ever pave the dirt road that runs infront of our property...It would be insane.

Now that just don't sound right. :mad:

That should be the price for the people with the "acreage" IMO, @ least then you can actually RIDE around your house. :p

For me, 2.2k sqft on barely larger lot = $1,200.

Its all about the "improved land value". When I bought my house the taxes were only $200 the first two years!!! Then the development, all the suberbs around me, got finished and wham it goes up to the now "improved property value". So you people with "acreage", somehow need to keep most of that as "un-improved property". Its not like you have ONE HUGE 10 acre house on it so I can't see how they come up with those large tax values. Unless your not showing us your "ROMAN COLISEUM" of a house on it!?!?! :naughty:

[OldSchoolin86]

We pay $2050 in taxes for a 3/4 acre lot with a 1200sq/ft home.

[atctim]

.625 Acres
760 Sq Ft Mobile Home
480 Sq Ft Garage

$140 year

Tennessee is actually one of the cheaper states around as far as Taxes go, Kentucky doesn't count considering they have a state income tax and personal property tax. Here I pay $3,800.00 for taxes and another $3,400.00 in insurance. Thats county only, no City taxes where I live. Thats for 9300 square feet and 7 acres. The additional 26 acres we have only runs $759.00 a year. We are going to Greenbelt our property this year which means we basically have to have some type of agricultural product here in order to get the Greenbelt Tax benefit. With the benefit we will reduce our tax liability 60%. Our normal tax rate is around 1% of our assessed value. :eek: We are one of the last States to not have a state income tax or personal property tax. Being in the mortgage business I see what a lot of the customers pay and the farther north you go the more of a good "hosing" you get.

[grundlegrabber]

9300 sq ft? Holy crap man! That's HUGE! May I suggest HEMP as an agricultural product? That might qualify you for the "green belt"!
I'm somewhere in the vicinity of $3K for a 1500 sq ft house on '7 ac with a 2 car garage. This is SE PA, just north of philly. 30 acres with a 3500 sq ft house and a shop around here would be worth at least a million bucks and I can't imagine what the taxes would be! Subdividable land in my area is selling for $80-110K per acre, minimum!

[ChrisD]

NY haas the worst property taxes I know. You should move to PA. Much better. We pay about $7000 per year for a 3000sq ft house in GWL NY (Orange Cnty too). NYC is VERY expensive to maintain. We pay about $3200 for a 2600 sq ft house in Maryland.
