A 30% increase for many homeowners, on top of a previous 20-30% increase = unable to afford the house you live in.

I believe this is the dems pushing their agenda. But it is to late. Most people will scream and shout and the politicians will blame trump for the rise. But there will be enough people who did their homework and call out the traitors. This will open up the conversation on why we need property tax and the majority of home owners will actually side with the idea of no property tax. The mid terms will be the tax abolishing race where 1 candidate will talk about getting rid of them, while the other will refuse to talk about it. Then the "vote blue no matter who" will have the biggest choice of their lives. Vote to raise taxes, or vote to get rid of them. Until then, we have to feel the pain of taxes even though we are numb to them.
Our county is 100% (R) as is the state. They claim that because houses sold for more in 2023/2024 we have to increase your assessed values.
My thoughts as well. Everyone needs to push back.
Property taxes are by far the chief funding source for county governments. Counties provide roads, sheriffs, and health services. They do need some money, and they need to get it some way. And you can bet it will come from us. (Where else?)
Your county sucks but not everyones county in these beautiful united states does.
It should come from other countries paying us to sell us their shit and who are indebted to us for giving them aid. NEVER FROM US!!!
My city/county not only increased our property taxes due to the insane prices that houses were selling for back in 2022/2023, but additionally we have to pay and file yearly income taxes to the city as well, so they're not hurting for money here where I am. Edit to add, because of all that taxing, the school levies fail because nobody wants to volunteer to pay even more property tax, which is how the school levy gets funded.
Maybe true, but it should be sales tax. They can provide services based on what they afford to provide from that revenue source. I am 100% against property tax because with that you can never truly own your property when they government can file to take it for not paying tax on it. I am also not a fan of our taxed money being taxed again. Ie income tax then being forced to pay another tax on your already taxed money. We have a government spending problem not a government revenue problem.
You can't blame Trump for something that was in the works prior to his Administration.
This has nothing to do with Trump it has to do with each individual state government.
Yes.
