WHAT DOES EVERYONE PAY FOR PROPERTY TAXES IN THEIR STATE? I've listed mine below. We're in DELAWARE!
I'm in lower Delaware (beach area) now for over 10 years. We moved from Annapolis, MD. Our property taxes on a 1/2 acre w/home in MD were over $10k when we moved. Here in lower Delaware our taxes on 1 acre w/4900 sq ft home is only $2,100. And we get a $400 credit on our tax return each year as seniors (we are young seniors!)
And we have no sales tax. Fast food, groceries, merchandise, restaurant meals, gas, etc.!
Outrageous! We did our homework on taxes, crime, state/local government and local police/fire structure. We were planning 20 years ahead for retirement and limited income family budgeting structure. At the time we moved ten years ago, Delaware was ranked #5 in the country as 'best states for retirement.'
