The property taxes where I live go to maintaining the back roads and snow plowing, I would rather pay for those services like I do for trash removal, it does not make it worth it to fix up your home or property, they raise the taxes based on the value of your home, if you have trees removed so you have a nice view from your windows, the property tax gets raised. They also only plow in snowstorms if the school buses are running, if not, and it comes down bad on a Sunday, and schools are closed because of it, be prepared to be stuck in the house until Monday afternoon.
