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

Here's for Texas. You need to find your counties appraisal website. Should be a protest link. You probably have a week left or so to do it.
Protest you tax. There's instructions on your appraisal office website for your county. Plenty of videos how to protest on YouTube
Ah, thought you meant not paying Fed income tax.
Trump already showed us the way to zero property taxes ....RE
Your state may be different...axe somebody
Plant a dead relative on the property, just like he did at his NJ golf course.

How about pets? Mine are buried out back
They'll ask you to produce a death certificate...
Yes, Yes it is...🤪😆
A death certificate for my dogs?
Did you read the link you posted? It says that it can’t be done. “But what the law does require is a dedication of the land for burial purposes. The Trump National Golf Club would have to be re-dedicated as a cemetery, and that would bar revenues from golfing activities.”
EDIT: My original comment fell below the fold, late to the party...but what I wanna know is, How much tax is OP talking about???
Are you $500/yr, $5,000/yr, $50,000/yr??? Property taxes vary YUGELY across America...If you're at $5k or less, some of us have nearly no sympathy for you... that's how high taxes are around these parts...
Here's what NJ State law says, 2024: hiding ugly link
45:27-20 Exemption from certain taxes.
b. Land dedicated to cemetery purposes owned by any person shall be exempt from all taxes, rates or assessments.
c. Charges paid to a cemetery for an interment space shall be exempt from the payment of sales or use tax.
d. Trust funds, and the income from trust funds, held by a cemetery company shall be exempt from taxation and assessment, and sale, seizure or sale for collection of judgments against the cemetery company.
e. Land dedicated to cemetery purposes and structures, buildings, and equipment used for the maintenance of that land or the operation of a cemetery shall be exempt from sale for collection of judgments. Income derived from cemetery property other than income required by law to be deposited in trust funds or used for a particular purpose may be taken and used for the payment of a judgment against a cemetery company. If a judgment against a cemetery company cannot be paid, a court may also order the issuance of bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness by the cemetery company. This subsection shall not apply to liens existing on land before it is dedicated to cemetery purposes.
f. A street or road shall not be laid through any land of a cemetery company that is actually in use for cemetery purposes without the consent of the cemetery company, unless otherwise provided by law.
g. When bankruptcy, receivership or other court proceeding necessitates the selling of cemetery company lands, the court shall require the purchaser to incorporate as a cemetery company.
h. A receiver or trustee of a cemetery company appointed by a court may issue bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness that include a provision allowing the holders to select the governing body of the cemetery company until they are paid.
L.2003,c.261,s.20.
So... Option/provision (b) I guess?
FYI, I'm not a lawyer... but I play one on TV 😁
My Assessed value was 300,000 in 2020. It increased to 380,000 on January 1, 2021. Then it went up to 468,000 in 2022, 489,000 in 2023, same in 2024, and now it is 616,000. Last year's taxes were almost $5,000 annually. Next year's will probably be $6,500 or more. I am reading the link you posted and am very interested in declaring our property a cemetary. Cremated remains in Indiana by law are considered cremated remains whether it is an animal or a person. Guess what, I just so happen to have cremated remains of our pet dog....
I think he's joking.
