Suburban homeowner's property tax bill skyrockets from $1,800 to over $30K

It won't be $30K, but the corrected amount could still be a lot more than what he's expecting. This story isn't over yet.

It’s getting wild by the day. The prices of homes are quite ridiculous and Mortgage prices has been skyrocketing on a roll(currently over 7%). Sometimes i wonder if to just invest my spare cash into the stock market and wait for a housing crash or just go ahead to buy a home anyways.

I get such worries too. I'm 50 and retiring early. Already worried of the future and where its headed, especially in terms of financies and how to get by. I'm also considering making my first investment in the stock market, but how can I do so given that the market has been in a mess for the majority of the year?

Tbh, most of the investors pays more attention to the profit aspect forgetting that the market involves ups and down. securing your financial position requires lots of patience and proper education on the market so as to know the right profitable stock to buy and invest in. I made over $260k in profits, from just the Q4 of 2021. Investing in the stock market is most profitable when you understand how the market actually works.

GREAT IDEA

Love it!

This right here ❤

Good idea in theory, however it seems that's ultimately what the government wants to happen 🤔 Cleary this isn't the only person this has happened to sadly, this is theft. I believe the government is intentionally trying to rip these people off so bad that they just give up their property and then the government owns everything soon after.

...the government then takes our tax dollars, prints a little extra, buys every home in the neighborhood, and hands it all off to blackrock, statestreet, and vanguard, and the money they bought your home with is worth so little, it's only use is as kindling.

You can always declare yourself an independent state, and receive no benefits from the county or city (its similar to native american autonomous regions). That also means its likely all your utilities will get cut, and police officers don't a duty to protect your home (as it is no longer part of the "city"), and you won't get any social benefits related to the city or county as you longer are part of it. But hey, at least you save on property tax. I do agree that being able to foreclose on a home from unpaid property tax and arbitrarily changing the assessed value all the time is stupid.

@@Kaodusanya utilities are not paid by property tax. They are paid directly. What is it with you people? The point is, if there isn't the threat of enforcement then many will not pay no matter how badly you want the potholes in the roads fixed. You advocate for property tax but then you don't want it enforced. Enforcement means taking freedom and property by force. This loops back to my original post. No one ever actually owns their property. You are merely renting it from the government.

Yup. When you have to keep paying on something every year you don't own it you're renting it.

You can see that purchasing a new house makes you a tax slave all over.

@@suppaduppa @P2Feener305 "Where are you going to live after your house is sold?" This is the major piece of reality that many homeowners fail to realize. Sure the price of your home went up, but so did all the other homes in your neighborhood and across the country. Unless you sell your home and plan to go back to renting or move back in with your parents, your gains are minimal if you use the funds to buy another home.

That's a low levy for high tax states

Not really it appears to be 15% tax on 20% of the property's value although a very incorrect value on his home. Based on his prior tax bill and that formula he was being taxed based on a $60,000 house so I expect his corrected tax bill is still going to be substantially higher than before because his home is worth way more than $60,000 now, in fact it was worth double that when he bought it.

That's 3% annual home tax. That's nothing. Some Chicago counties charge up to 25% property taxes if it falls under commercial property such as the house is used as rental property or as multi-family rental units.

@zlonewolf I pay @ 1% in Florida.

@@francismarion6400 Yeah that is basically what we pay in Missouri but what it looks like on paper is 5% tax on 19% of the property's value which is 1% tax on the actual value of the property.

Yea fuck the government we have no freedom and we give our money away willingly enough is enough. All they do with taxes is wasted by military and government spending doing a whole bunch of nothing

Why would the state do that? They make a lot of money doing this. Why stop? Only way to get rid of this form of theft is to put it on a voting ballot. The problem is too many people are complacent and lazy to make a change.

And landlords have no say in their property!! At this point is it the owners home or the tenants?!!

Imo you pay property taxes when you sell, rent, and buy and it should be significantly more than they are now, but the yearly tax thing is weird to me. If you are considering capital gains taxes when you buy/sell a property then you shouldn’t also be ‘renting’ it from the county. Technically you are renting the land from the county if anything, but that the taxes you pay on a property goes up when the home goes up really hurts people in a way it shouldn’t. Especially when so many rich people /companies get so much out of it when the property tax is such a small % of the value they extract. That being said the taxes usually DO go to help the community a lot more than other taxes. It often funds schools and other things, which imo is wrong because it harms education in cheaper areas.

@@CreativeMindsAudio Every single tax doesn't "fund" anything. Our roads are failing, our infrastructure is failing, our schools are failing.

@@CreativeMindsAudio yeah property taxes harm poor people more than the rich. My grandmother is leaving me land that she inherited from her parents. My husband and I work fast food. We just want a place we can live but with how property values are going up, we might lose it. There has to be a way to tax the lower income less on property than the rich. Property for us isn’t an investment or assets we can make money on by renting, it’s the place we want to live our entire lives on in peace without worrying about being evicted due to our landlord selling our apartment or being at the mercy of ever increasing rents we can’t afford. If we lost the place we are in now, we would have nowhere to go. Our only hope is to fix up my grandmothers property. We can’t lose that too.

@@face2lune I get guidance from *Susan Tori Davis* Most likely, the internet should have her basic info..

They told him "Everybody's tax went up." Made my blood boil. Did they not event look at his problem?

No taxation without representation!

The goal it to take their homes...He got lucky.

The sad thing is some people paid that double digit tax. Will they get refunded, ehh.

Oh they would have done something, sadly that something would be a tax sale

20% of 30,000 is still going to be a $6,000 slap. They're stealing people's homes and then when they do those taxes will come down. This is shameful what they're doing. I found out today that we're paying billionaires to house migrants in hotels so they can renovate their properties. They're buying hotels that need renovation in nice areas and using our tax dollars to house migrants. We desperately need Trump back

Exactly.

This man and 4400 others.

This comment makes no sense. You drive on roads, you have schools, you can drink water from your house, and more. How do you think that was paid to create?

@@michellem6826 I’ve heard that argument before. My point is this is just another way showing us that we are all being taxed to death. I hope you can wrap your mind around the concept of taxation and realize the gravity of the situation we all find ourselves in today.

@@michellem6826 I drive on roads I have been forced to build so the government can easily send armed men with weapons to my house when ever they feel like it say after a property tax hike. I drink water with poison in it that I'm forced to pay for and more against my will with no real representation in government.

@@CyndiP1111 taxation is a needed in a civilized society to care for the community. I don’t support exploitation but I don’t think only people with money deserve medical treatment, homes, schools, and more. I hope you can wrap your mind around that concept.

@@michellem6826 and while some taxation may be needed to provide for the common good, it should not be oppressive. If you study history, you know that the men and women rose up against taxes on tea, whisky and stamps to name a few. Back then there were no taxes on income and property and while that was a much harder time for people to live in, they endured, worked hard and now we find ourselves living in the world today. Taxation today is fueled by greed and corruption and stealing all of your time and energy so you can live a meager existence. I think that we can do better than that, in fact I KNOW it. I’m not here to argue with you personally. It’s obvious that you must enjoy paying all of the taxes that you do and if you feel that way, I’m not going to attempt to change your mind about it. Have you ever had a bold vision of the future? I HAVE, and it looks really good.

Why is this happening? The economy is that desperate

@@flowerchildz6213 The world powers that be want all us little people to own nothing. Literally nothing. Everything will either be subscription or rental based. IT's not a conspiracy, the people running this world literally have said in out loud in peoples faces. All a part of agenda 2030. "You'll own nothing and be happy" WEF forum 2016. We will own nothing but they will take our homes for pennies on the dollar.

​@@flowerchildz6213 black rock and vanguard

​@@flowerchildz6213democrats are in line with the Davos Group 2030 initiative. They stated several years ago in a propaganda video "you will own nothing and you will be happy!" They want the middle class to be reverted back to a surf class who are required to rent and force EVERYTHING to be a subscription service.

Agreed 💯💯

TRUMP 2024 OR ELSE

Property tax is a state issue. The constitution focused pretty squarely on the national government and restricted almost nothing from the state governments. Definitely didn't say they couldn't tax people.

It is state law. This allows a county to fire polices schools roads.

It’s not violence

I think you need to look up the definition of "constitutional", and "violence" while you're at it.

🤣😂😂

Exactly. I work in an assessors office in another state.. There is no way 4,400 properties would go out with that kind of an error. W e have data analyst wizards that would have raised the red flag long before the tax notices go out.

Yep, we should contest every assessment. It's a scam. They price it crazy knowing half the people wont fight it. Gov. pockets get full.

My dad when he was alive, built a wrap around porch on his home. They increased his taxes till it was equal to paying for that porch every single year. Punishment for improvements. How stupid is that. That is why some people just leave it as is.

Yes the outside of my home looks from the hood, wooden pallets over the windows and garbage everywhere (junk) but I only renovate the inside. I worked as a real estate agent. I know how these assessors games are. I could care less what the front of the house looks like but the back and the inside is gorgeous.😂❤ and they lowered my tax bill to only 1300 because they said it looked like a crap

@@rrrealqueen You're lucky they didn't cite you to clean it up. That's their next opportunity to add to their coffers.

A few years ago in Santa Monica, CA, they wanted to add a VIEW tax depending on if you could see the ocean/beach from your windows. Now you see homeless encampments from your windows.

My wife and I bought a 35 acre property with a house and a few outbuildings. We added a 1/2 acre pond a little over a year ago. Our assesed value went up $ 274,000 on our next tax bill. Not up to $274,000..... up that much from original assessment. That's a joke.

nah,,, we have enuf lawyers banking on this. // he worked it out himself. if you sue the county somehow they'll get back at you,,,,,, and have excuses for doing More of nothing.
