Property tax is theft, PERIOD. I know that's not the ruling here, but I want to remind everyone that cases like this wouldn't exist if we actually owned our homes instead of paying a perpetual lease to someone (US Gov't, Queen of England?).
I agree. Every time I do improvements to my home and farm, taxman, pokes his nose in my business. The reason for permits, it’s not for safety, but to alert the taxman that you were making improvements on your farm or house.
They are very greedy. He over, assessed my home and Barn, which add an additional $700 per month on my mortgage. He even taxed the tiny patio that I poured concrete so I wouldn’t have to step in mud.
He told me each loafing shed would accrue a $3500 tax assessment, and if I put a riding ring in the price of it determines if it’s an all weather ring with fancy footing.
We had a nice conversation, in which I had to justify why my barn shouldn’t be taxed at top-tier and I explained about the mortgage increase due to property tax. He did drop me some hints on what they charge when improvements are done to the property.
I want to finish the basement, but North Carolina law says I have to pull permits for electric and plumbing, even though it’s to code.
I don’t understand why I have to pay high taxes for things I don’t even see the benefit. Now I know why my neighbors homes look like crap. Anytime we do improvements, tax man comes up and raises the taxes.

Drives me insane the level of taxation and slavery we are under without people really noticing. Only this place sees it.
When do we stop paying taxes? Because I think now would be the best time.
