Always shocks people when I say my county is fleecing me harder than NYS.
John Burns put a new sewer line in on my street
We are indeed overtaxed on housing in El Paso and people keep voting yes on every new tax and bond put infront of them.
IL, NY, and NJ are the rare states with high income taxes and high property taxes.
What the heck is going on in Seattle? Is that just a bunch of black scribbles?
It would be cool to see average grades in public schools or some similar metric, road conditions, public trans, or something compared to, just in an effort to see where the cash all goes.
What’s tough about this is that you expect it in No State Income Tax states like Texas, but it’s a killer in places that have high home prices, high state taxes, and high property taxes. Most of those states also have decently high sales taxes for the quadfecta.
Mines 2.2% in Western NY. Nearly 100% of the property tax goes to Medicaid in my county.
Is this literally the annual tax rate on the assessed value of a residential property?
Cause that seems really high to me… in my European capital (Reykjavik) it’s 0.18% for residential property.
Fucking Kansas, one of the poorest fucking states and they are robbing the farmers (and regular joes) blind with property taxes.
What about Alaska and Hawaii, just curious
Why are we not included car based properties taxes? That is important part of this discussion especially because it is more likely to effect poorer american since they may not own a home but do own a car.
This is a nice viz, but doesn’t give the full picture because it excludes how assessment is done by state/county. Assessed value can commonly be established from 40-100% of appraised / market value, even when reset on a recorded sale. Places often have high rates to offset low assessment and vice versa. Millage rate alone does not tell you what % of the value of real estate the tax burden is.
These maps always seem slightly incorrect. For example, this shows MI as having no municipalities with over 2%. There are multiple instances of millage rates over 50 in Oakland and Wayne counties. (Anything over 50 would be > 2%, as it is per 1,000 of taxable value which is 50% of the price upon new sale). My personal property taxes edge out to a hair over 2%
