In the city they are around 1.1%, county about .7%.. We have a income tax also, but no sales tax.

Haven't received our tax bill yet but someone from the Assessors Office came by a few weeks ago to evaluate the property. Figured the assessed value was going to increase so applied to freeze the value. There were some problems processing the application so I got a call from the Assessors Office. She suggested I wait until next year to freeze the value because our assessed value was going to decrease by about 25K this year. Coulda knocked me over with a feather.

My old home in Illinois is valued at $530,000. Property taxes are currently $14,000 on it. Glad I moved out years ago.

Around 4K tax on a home valued by them to be worth around 300k.
Property taxes stink, you spend the rest of your life paying tribute to the king for what you paid for.
Get old and sick and can no longer afford to pay it ? The king will confiscate your property
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
