Government blurs the issue on purpose. You pay city taxes, county taxes, state taxes, federal taxes. Every time you buy something you pay a sales tax. Many places add in additional taxes on top of the sales tax (hotel tax, airport tax etc) If you sell a stock you pay a capital gains tax. Most of that money gets wasted by the government.

Crazy that NH is higher than mass also that California is lower than all the others. Also why is ill not on low side? All weird stuff.

I pay a lot, relatively speaking .. about $7k.  I don’t mind, my township is beautiful and has a lot of amenities.  Great schools, lots of parks, lots of public works.  Municipal services are very active and responsive to my requests.  Funds for that have to come from somewhere.

All the states with the lowest property taxes sound like undesirable shitholes, I don’t think it’s a coincidence.  Well maybe not SC, I’ve never been.

[IroNat]

I pay just under $12k.

Yes, states with the lowest taxes are the worst.

[Gym Rat]

I wish mine were close to the median 6K... Closer to 12K...

New Hampshire   $6,036.

I paid my house off over a decade ago (and same for cars and college) so I live very easily, but yeah, the taxes are brutal here.
#3 in taxes and no. 2 or 3 in safety and crime (lack of) each year. Ill take it. (Least diverse)...

That’s crazy. I always thought nh was the best state for taxes.

One of the rare examples of California doing a good job.

Prop 13 saved the day.

For every dollar you pay in taxes the government spends 3

There's no sales tax on anything, but property taxes are insane, that's how they get ya...

There was talk that Newsom wanted to repeal that some time ago. I wonder if that will eventually happen. My mom was able to take advantage of that when she finally sold her house 6 years ago to move closer to us. I’m paying just over $28k

Your wife must be rich, Coach.

Those taxes are ridiculous.

Weirdly the UK equivalent (council tax) is typically cheaper in more affluent boroughs. When I lived on the edge of one Londons richest Borough  I paid like £1200 a year!

People living in 10 room £20million mansions in that borough aren't pay more than £3k a year

Aircraft carriers, nuclear subs and F-35s are expensive

I pay close to 9K.  It goes up every couple of years.  At least at 65 in NJ you can freeze your house taxes.

Towns pay assessment companies to tell them what the house is now worth and what the taxes should be. I forgot years back my town sent me a letter saying a guy would be in the neighborhood doing assessments and if I don't cooperate I would be assessed at the highest level. Completely forgot.  A young black guy knocks on my door and says he wants to come in to assess the house. Can't pull one over on me and I said you're not getting in here. I called the town and they affirmed it was the company they hired to assess the house. I ran down the block and begged him to come back. He looked only in my basement and said he just wanted to make sure it wasn't a finished basement adding square footage to the house.

Our homeowners insurance is also insane.

Yes. It went up about 30 % from last year.

[Humble Narcissist]
