This was very informative! I work in the field of taxes in IL and I can say you have a strong and accurate understanding of property, personal property, and sales taxes!! 👍 But those historic homes in STL city still got me interested.....lol. They are gems and hard to find at even halfway affordable rates anywhere else. Keep those videos coming!! 💪👍
Thank you for this information. It is A LOT of extra if you move here and aren’t used to these extra taxes. We went back to Kentucky over the weekend and gas prices $3.25/gallon), sales tax and NO taxes on food and groceries was very refreshing.
Absolutely. And that's the thing, MO property taxes and what not aren't the highest in the country, BUT there are lots of these "hidden" taxes and we aren't as low tax of a state as it appears on the surface when all the taxes are combined
I visited Seattle recently. No income tax but it would be difficult to find any decent house for under 650K. My house in Glendale, which is a semi-upscale area would well for 350K at most.
i just closed on a condo in st louis hills for 130k and its pretty nice, not huge but a two bedroom right next to a huge park. it took a little bit of looking my price range to find what i wanted but theres some good stuff out there for 100k-150k if you know where to look. i dont make a ton of money right now and im making it work.
That's fantastic; 100-150k can certainly be a solid price range in the right area, and that's a very common price range especially for a lot of 1st time buyers around STL
Special tax districts are an issue too. This needs to be restricted and is often just a handout to retailers or sketchy development districts in your area. Ways to save...drive an old car and buy less stuff! Ha
Depending on your situation you might owe: Personal property tax if you own a car on Jan 1st living in MO, a 1% earnings tax if you live or work in the city of STL, plus state & fed income taxes. Others to consider are sales tax when you buy stuff, property tax if you own real estate, etc. Hope this helps and welcome to St. Louis!
I'll tax the street, (If you try to sit,) I'll tax your seat (If you get too cold,) I'll tax the heat (If you take a walk,) i'LL TAX YOUR FEET! TAXMAN!
Thank you Jacob for doing this! I was the one who asked for this video.
Absolutely! Just wanted to make a breakdown of taxes and hidden costs because it was a good recommendation.
