it took 7 years for the property tax on this house to go up 30% and in one year it jumps 54%? communist bullshit

Can't wait to be a homeowner...

Sounds like Jackson County is in Illinois not MO.

still better than renting...for now

When you rent and they jack up the apt complex's tax value they just raise your rent to cover it anyhow.

Makes you wonder how many people just pay it, no matter how pissed they get.

Yeah, we'll see how things shake out. I've got the best and worst of both worlds right now - living in a paid-off RV but paying about $800/mo for a parking spot and utilities.

if you don't get pissed and do something about it, you'll keep being pissed until you can't

Im just paying it. Mine doubled but still only 25% of true value.

The problem is Jackson county is only doing the insane increase on low income, starter homes. Corporate rental homes barely went up. Expensive homes barely went up. Frank white and city leaders went down. The city again chose to attack elderly, minority owners. Most of which that are on fixed income and will be forced to sell. It is a land/house grab.

Hopefully the lawyer brings all of this in. Literally impossible to do that breakdown accidentally.

We are run by literal ****ing commies. ROFL

most places tax according to what they think it will sell for when it sells.
Yes, prices are on the rise everywhere and it has slowed. But in 2007 when the market crashed, my taxes did not really ever go down. Nominal, but not according to what the value should have been.

Now, it is out of control. Anything over 15% is a money grab.

It was just a matter of time after Lucas's taxes jumped 67% (https://www.kmbc.com/article/quinton...ocess/44322693) . It's OK to bend over the average schulb, but when you **** with the man ----

Ha you knew assessments in Chicago were coming when you’d start getting mailers from attorneys telling you how much you could save appealing with them

It’s a whole intentional system created to get everyone paid on your dollar

Assess high which creates an appeal process so the lawyers get their cut, then you “get” a 15% reduction after everyone gets paid and somehow feel like you won while everyone laughs their way to the bank with your money

Our government on every level along with all the enforcers in this country just abuse us with no recourse.

It's repulsive.
