This year the rates (millage/percentage) went up on my area (three of the suburbs in which I own properties) .. Which means, next year I pay the increase. When I see numbers, such as you just posted, it really does not lessen my pain, other than "misery loves company". Next year ... I will be paying well over seventy-thousand dollars, US ..., up from my sixty-four thousand this year
But, in most states .. you cannot blame the politicians ... Each increase in property tax goes to public vote. Any levy requires the votes of the citizenry ...
So, I cannot really blame the politicians .. It's my stupid "neighbors" .. Don't you know .. "It's for the Children ..."
