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

[bigredhead]

Hahahaha... sucker.

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

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

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!!

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....

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 !

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.

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.
