It's an asset which you hold that is increasing in value, it's no different to capital gains tax or income tax. You could buy something for 50,000 and sell it for 300,000 and pay sod all on it in tax and make like 250,000 when you sell it...but if you worked for 250,000 in work income you'd be taxed ridiculously on it when they both income which is ridiculous.

My property taxes were $1300 due to ag exempt for almost 6 years, came 2021 they change the required acres from 10 to 15 so I lost our AG exemption went through appeal process and was told to buy more land to meet new requirement. 2021 taxes went to $15,300. Had to got another job to cover the new payment increase of $1330 every month. Property went for sale 2022. Lost my little ranch, lost my cattle, my horse, got half an acre and mobile home, and I will be able to start saving again.. they give a headache, afraid of loosing everything we had work for. But made it out of that mess. Thank God

Texas property taxes are high. I was paying $3,500 a year for a home worth $159k. I sold it in 2019 and moved to Tennessee. I now pay $950 a year on a home worth $550k here. A house like this would be taxed around $10k a year back in Texas.

Of course my taxes have gone up and my home insurance has skyrocketed. I' m 78 years old, retired and a small income, but no one in local or state government cares or will even listen!
@@user-ip5dm6jf8k Welcome to the USSA. A lot of ppl Love this system until it bites them in the ass and all those times they had to fight back, they just laughed and thought it would never happen to them.
What do they care? The officials setting the "appraised" property values make 2x - 3x times the standard salaries within their districts. a.k.a.: it doesn't affect them in the slightest. Why?? Because property values aren't based on the owners' income. Give Democrats enough time and that will be the case. That is the same reason, I will never support the flat tax idea, as long as there isn't a constitutional amendment abolishing the standard income tax. What they will do is ACT as if they abolishing the federal income tax, then years later, reinstate the income tax, all the while, keeping the flat tax. We already pay taxes on our own hard-worked labor... then sales tax... then property tax... Where does it end?
Americans need to do away with property tax. When you sell or purchase a house, taxes are paid. Why then do you need to pay taxes again and again? BS system.
Everyone cries when criminals are set free by on the street by our judges then they cry when their taxes go up to build new prisons and jails to house the criminals, people need to learn to suck it up and pay your taxes or downsize into something more affordable.
This is the third video on this I’ve seen tonight! I loathe property tax. My elderly friend lost his PAID OFF home due to his property tax skyrocketing. It’s horrifying.
There is no justification for this antiquated system. I am fully convinced the system is purposefully designed to push homeowners to a breaking point where they are forced out. New owners are then subject to higher taxes without the benefit of the homestead exemption the previous owner enjoyed. That equals more revenue for the GREEDY MACHINE. You cannot TRULY own a home while this form of highway robbery exists.
IMO as long as you have to pay property taxes you don't own anything. Don't believe me, don't pay you taxes and see who the real OWNERS are, hint hint it's NOT the bank.
this is so stupid.. you go to the protest and the appraisal guy just puts up the comps and they are all flipper homes.. those homes were bought at a discount and gutted then rebuilt and now they are charging a huge markup... so the people who have lived in the neighborhood for years get screwed because the appraisal guy uses the flipped prices... its a total ripoff....
My parents house was appraised this month at 400k...insurance went thru the roof! They bought the home 7 years ago for 170k. Scams are hard at work these days
Yeah , but you still have to pay higher property taxes, if the value of your property increases. You can payoff your house and retire in it, but your property taxes can eat up your retirement pay. Then you will be elderly and have to sell your dream home.
@@jamesdannelly6760No. It's based on what your neighbor's house sold for. Tell your neighbors to sell their homes for less and you'll get lower property assessments.
People need to pass amendments to limit property taxes to percent of original purchase price, then limit the yearly percentages similar to California’s prop 13.
The idea that you would pay an increased tax on something that has little to no intrinsic value is insane. I wonder if these assessments include any depreciation for the HVAC system, roof, etc.
@@saythankyou111 it’s not, it’s absolutely not. The only people who do have that luxury are in congress & the ones who vote to raise their own pay are Republicans 🙄 The majority of government workers are on a pay scale that is predetermined.

@@MD-ky4hoKind of. In California increases are limited to no more than 2% per year and several times it has been less. And, it's only fully reassessed at current market value when the title changes ownership. So, longterm owners have much lower property taxes than newer owners.
This is state wide! Same crooked thing going on in Victoria County. I advise all residents to look at the Officials taxes, if it's the same as in Victoria, Texas, they miraculously didn't have their property values go up in the last 4 years!

Precisely why I sold my homes several years ago in the states. The system is corrupt imo so I will be buying a home overseas where taxes are thousands less and very little increases in properry tax.
And then the school districts have been announcing how they're "magically" expecting multi-million dollar budget shortages? WTF?! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!!!
A tax appraisal should be considered a cash offer to purchase by the government. That would get them to think twice about their valuations before taxing people’s homes.
It should be law, that if the government appraises your property for a certain amount, you should have the option to pay the amount of taxes, or the government must buy the property from you for the appraised amount.
To pay tax on market value is paying tax on unrealized gains. Very unfair. And the city/county/state has no increase in expenses to justify this additional income. Its a racket.
exactly!! I was explaining this to one of my colleagues. I used the analogy of having to pay income tax on the unrealized gains of your retirement account every year, then paying capital gains when you finally start selling your holdings.
That's not analogous. Why? Because property taxes are used to run the state. A more appropriate analogy would be paying broker commissions based on the increase in your investment portfolio.
Just after 2008 when property values tanked, taxes were maintained at an artificially high rate by taxing authorities by raising the multiplier factor. This was supposed to be temporary, but became permanent. Now, with exploding values many are really getting gouged. The whole system is massively flawed.
That's because there is no individual state income tax. Which ultimately puts the onus on long-term property owner retirees because they no longer have individual income to tax. So, retirees that have been in their home the longest are left with the shortest end of the stick. They're house rich, but cash poor.
Property taxes should be outlawed. There should be other forms of tax to make up for it that are not tied to our homes. If we own our land then we own it outright. There should be no need for the government to keep a string attached to our private property.
make a law requiring county appraisers to purchase property at the full appraised value if the property owner wishes to sell. this will fix it because they would have to put their money where their mouth is
Your home benefits from city infrastructure which isn't free and needs to be maintained. That includes education, police, water, trash, sewer, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
@@mrxman581 Not sure how it is where you are, but the state I was in, all those services were taxed separately. The majority of property tax went to schools (and as a childless person, I have issues with having to pay and how that money is unevenly distributed - but that's another discussion). I'm also no longer in the city and if my property tax is spent on services, I have a very hard time seeing it as the dirt road to my home barely gets any attention and the fire department asks for a membership fee.
@@jabba334were the only country that taxes homeowners to fund education. We need to change that it’s the reason that education is so bad from one state to another
@@mrxman581 We pay various other taxes besides property tax. Property tax need not be eliminated but making it a tax on unrealized gains is absurd. Corporations don't pay tax on unrealized gains so why should people pay tax on income they never got to see while taking on full speculatory risk??
What people don't understand is that your property tax is another way of saying, "Pay to Play". Everybody who lives in the city has to pay their fair share for all the city public services that are around their area. What the city officials are not telling you is that growth and population increases will increase the expense burden that they have to endure. So that's why they appraise it more. Appraising it is just another way of saying, "you owe us more because we need it". By the way, if you haven't noticed by now, public school districts are the biggest consumer of this tax
There should be exemption allowed to certain amount if it’s your primary residence like here in Hawaii. They knock off 300k here in Hawaii if it is your primary. Not much considering avg house is around 1M but anything helps.
No way you should pay a tax for having a roof over your head. That's a basic necessity. It shouldn't be taxable if you own only 1 home. That's a basic necessity for all American families.

Back in the late 60’s Howard Jarvis was ahead of his time in California, thank god! He was the author of proposition 13, the state is still feeling the results of that legislation.
make a law requiring county appraisers to buy any property at the full appraised value if the owner wishes to sell. I promise they will do their due diligence to make accurate appraisals
It’s an obvious strategy. Raise the value of the home to raise the property tax. To be honest my home is not worth 700,000 I’d say top 400 grand. Yup my property tax went up.
Yup and the local city commissioners get to say "we haven't raised the tax rate. it's the same rate for the last few years". meanwhile the appraisal district runs cover for them by inflating property appraisals which have the same effect as raising the tax rate. but the politicians get to fool the folks by saying "its not us its the appraisal district". then the appraisal district says "were doing what the law tells us"
My mom bought her house in 1970 for $26,000. The smallest house near her home just sold for $1.1MM. She will never see the benefit. They should tax me not her.
Jackson County, MO (Kansas City), raised property taxes 20%-400%+ just because the County executive said so. People can’t afford to pay these here, but it falls on totally deaf ears. The people in charge of all this can’t explain how or why it was done, nor can explain their so-called ‘formula’ used. The county executive’s property taxes went up only 7% while the houses on either side of his went up 30% each. Get the state officials involved, and hopefully lawsuits are filed against the county for their thievery. This is Taxation without Representation.
Homeowners tax rate should not be based on what the homes are selling for. Company’s will soon own all the homes and force the public to pay rent it’s not America
It makes me so sad to know that we really never own anything. There is absolutely no such thing as home ownership. Even if you paid it off, of you don’t let them bleed you dry they will come take it from you. That depresses me. I don’t know what to do about it :(
Thats what I was laughing at when the legislature passed an increase in the homestead exemption. I was like "the appraisal district will just raise everyone's values by $100K which wipes out the exemption".
Oh move to Texas no state income tax. Problem is the state has to get revenue somehow. And property taxes are 1 way. When you are retired, no state income tax is not a concern.

Good. A study found that everywhere in the country the most expensive homes were being under assessed while the cheapest homes were being over assessed. It's about time the wealthy homeowners pay the same rate as everybody else as they are required by law.
My small town used to do appraisals every 3 years then the changed it to yearly about 3 years ago now its every 6 months. Its also gone from a simple part time job to a full time one with its own town office. Our effective tax rate is going up about 20% every year now.

Tell me why single family home property taxes are necessary to begin with. Out of all the other taxes collected, why do you need property tax? Don't say to fund schools, police, and firefighters. That's hogwash. They tax everything else. Pool it all up and fund what you need from that. And why do your taxes go up when your assesed value increases? Does the state or township take responsibility for the property and the home if any damage occurs? Tell me why are they charging anything? I say taxes paid on the intial purchase of the land is enough since the owner is now responsible for everything that goes on on said property afterwards.
I always thought it was kind of funny to revolt against NOT having government overlords tax you. They actually fought to be taxed, but with local government representatives instead of one's from overseas. Boggles the mind.
I think that guy who said, "there is no precedence for a 50% increase in one year", must now understand what YOUNG people are talking about. New home buyers now have to pay a 50% higher price for a home than a couple of years back, which is impossible for most people

So when the market crashes, do the taxes go down? Bet they never do!!
Yes.
Yes, actually they do...and sometimes you get a surprise "refund" check. At least that's what they do here in Nevada. Not sure about other states.

Hopefully it doesn’t crash. I don’t own a home but. If 7.4% interest rates won’t crash it then higher unemployment is the only thing that will. Higher unemployment actually kills more people so we can’t hope for that
I seen it go down once but it was so minuscule that it seemed like nothing.

Texas property taxes are high. I was paying $3,500 a year for a home worth $159k. I sold it in 2019 and moved to Tennessee. I now pay $950 a year on a home worth $550k here. A house like this would be taxed around $10k a year back in Texas.

What do they care? The officials setting the "appraised" property values make 2x - 3x times the standard salaries within their districts. a.k.a.: it doesn't affect them in the slightest. Why?? Because property values aren't based on the owners' income. Give Democrats enough time and that will be the case. That is the same reason, I will never support the flat tax idea, as long as there isn't a constitutional amendment abolishing the standard income tax. What they will do is ACT as if they abolishing the federal income tax, then years later, reinstate the income tax, all the while, keeping the flat tax. We already pay taxes on our own hard-worked labor... then sales tax... then property tax... Where does it end?

There is no justification for this antiquated system. I am fully convinced the system is purposefully designed to push homeowners to a breaking point where they are forced out. New owners are then subject to higher taxes without the benefit of the homestead exemption the previous owner enjoyed. That equals more revenue for the GREEDY MACHINE.

"Property value" doesn't matter if you're not intending to sell your property.
Yeah , but you still have to pay higher property taxes, if the value of your property increases. You can payoff your house and retire in it, but your property taxes can eat up your retirement pay. Then you will be elderly and have to sell your dream home.
That's how they base the amount of taxes you pay through. The more money they need the higher the value they place on your property

Just build an apartment building and rent it out. Screw the government.
A tax appraisal should be considered a cash offer to purchase by the government. That would get them to think twice about their valuations before taxing people’s homes.
It should be law, that if the government appraises your property for a certain amount, you should have the option to pay the amount of taxes, or the government must buy the property from you for the appraised amount.
To pay tax on market value is paying tax on unrealized gains. Very unfair. And the city/county/state has no increase in expenses to justify this additional income. Its a racket.
exactly!! I was explaining this to one of my colleagues. I used the analogy of having to pay income tax on the unrealized gains of your retirement account every year, then paying capital gains when you finally start selling your holdings.
It's fraud and unconstitutional
@@kylereese1087The seller doesn't pay the property taxes when it's sold, the buyer does.
That's not analogous. Why? Because property taxes are used to run the state. A more appropriate analogy would be paying broker commissions based on the increase in your investment portfolio.
Just after 2008 when property values tanked, taxes were maintained at an artificially high rate by taxing authorities by raising the multiplier factor. This was supposed to be temporary, but became permanent. Now, with exploding values many are really getting gouged. The whole system is massively flawed.
That's because there is no individual state income tax. Which ultimately puts the onus on long-term property owner retirees because they no longer have individual income to tax. So, retirees that have been in their home the longest are left with the shortest end of the stick. They're house rich, but cash poor.
Property taxes should be outlawed. There should be other forms of tax to make up for it that are not tied to our homes. If we own our land then we own it outright. There should be no need for the government to keep a string attached to our private property.
Maaannnn. Happened to us in GA. Ridiculous! I’m appealing this year. I feel so sorry for the seniors.
This is a racket, between appraisers and corporations/conglomerates. Needs to be stopped on a country wide level.
make a law requiring county appraisers to purchase property at the full appraised value if the property owner wishes to sell. this will fix it because they would have to put their money where their mouth is
You left out local governments who benefit from the scam to provide raises to local government employees.
There shouldn't be any recurring taxes on properties that aren't used to make money.

@@mrxman581 Not sure how it is where you are, but the state I was in, all those services were taxed separately. The majority of property tax went to schools (and as a childless person, I have issues with having to pay and how that money is unevenly distributed - but that's another discussion).
I'm also no longer in the city and if my property tax is spent on services, I have a very hard time seeing it as the dirt road to my home barely gets any attention and the fire department asks for a membership fee.
@@jabba334were the only country that taxes homeowners to fund education. We need to change that it’s the reason that education is so bad from one state to another
@@mrxman581that could be addressed with sales taxes
@@mrxman581 We pay various other taxes besides property tax. Property tax need not be eliminated but making it a tax on unrealized gains is absurd. Corporations don't pay tax on unrealized gains so why should people pay tax on income they never got to see while taking on full speculatory risk??
What people don't understand is that your property tax is another way of saying, "Pay to Play". Everybody who lives in the city has to pay their fair share for all the city public services that are around their area. What the city officials are not telling you is that growth and population increases will increase the expense burden that they have to endure. So that's why they appraise it more. Appraising it is just another way of saying, "you owe us more because we need it". By the way, if you haven't noticed by now, public school districts are the biggest consumer of this tax

I promise they will do their due diligence to make accurate appraisals
It’s an obvious strategy. Raise the value of the home to raise the property tax. To be honest my home is not worth 700,000 I’d say top 400 grand. Yup my property tax went up.
Yup and the local city commissioners get to say "we haven't raised the tax rate. it's the same rate for the last few years". meanwhile the appraisal district runs cover for them by inflating property appraisals which have the same effect as raising the tax rate. but the politicians get to fool the folks by saying "its not us its the appraisal district". then the appraisal district says "were doing what the law tells us"

Appraiser is right. Not her fault. She’s just following the rules politicians are passing.
Vote in a Tax Cut then the County Appraiser comes out and doubles your Appraised Tax Value. Perfect

Thats what I was laughing at when the legislature passed an increase in the homestead exemption. I was like "the appraisal district will just raise everyone's values by $100K which wipes out the exemption".
