Quite Right. I never understood why 'empty nesters' are obligated to pay school taxes (property taxes).
School taxes are 70% of our property taxes. For a school system based in a town of around 3,000.
And my husband is 65 (I’m not quite there yet 😉).
In ohio at 65 you can get a homestead exemption to lower that tax
We did that in August. Total taxes went down about $400.
But we do now have the opportunity to pay quarterly without fees. Hoping our silver stack helps us out later…😂
The township we live in was once a major farming area. We've been in this area 35 years and have seen most of the land sold now and developed into housing additions. Our taxes are the highest in the county (9 townships). Now because of enormous growth in the area, they want to raise our taxes 5.8% per $100 value of property. Our kids are grown and live elsewhere. I hate to vote for this bc I don't have kids in the system anymore, but part of me feels I need to because others supported the schools' growth when my kids had the advantage.
I’m gonna have to check for one in Missouri
That’s what we don’t like either
I understand your thinking, but now that my children are grown adults, others also contributed via tax money to help support the schools they attended. However, I am of the opinion that the money allotted to educate a child should follow the child. Parents need to be given SCHOOL CHOICE.
I agree, but what does the people do when they don't do this? Public schools are already medium security penitentiaries.
Quite Right. There's little leverage when the schools know they have a gravy train of taxpayer money that cannot be rescinded.
