Property Taxes - How much do you pay annually?

[ragingclue]

You can totally say it, but what's keeping you here?

Oh I thought you were being rhetorical. My wife and her proximity to her family, I like my job, and I just bought a house that I like too. A lot of me wants to pick up and head back home to where I grew up, but it seems staying here and trying to help fix things isn't so bad. I mean, even though so much is fucked up about IL, life relative to a lot of the world isn't so bad. But it does seem to rock some obnoxious down sides.

where'd you grow up?

Few things keep me...

1. I wouldn't move to Indiana. Nothing against Indiana, just nothing appealing about it for me personally, and it'd be too much of a haul "back here"
2. If I moved to Wisco, they "get you" there on income taxes... so it all works out.
3. I love the chain and boating on it.
4. I couldn't make as much money elsewhere.

Hey guys, I rent.

Was just curious how much $$ people are throwing away each year

Throw away? So you don't want police? Fire? any other municipal services?

Interesting, sounds like you should buy your own island.

Renters pay the highest property taxes, no homestead exemption

Nope, sorry. I dont pay any taxes.

I win.

Homestead exemption is what... 6k off your assessed value?

yyyayyyyy

Hey guys, I rent.

nope your paying the owners property taxes and then some

I dont really have any plan to change it up. Thought about buying in the Spring but then realized I have no gf, no kids, a job that doesnt require me to have an office....so why lock myself down right now.

But this isnt a thread about that. Carry on.

There's a difference between being forced at gunpoint to pay something, and having a choice. If I don't want police, fire, etc I should be able to opt out in a free market for services.

QUICK! SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE SOMEONE IS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!

NO, WAIT, DON'T CALL, SEE IF THEY OPTED IN FOR AMBULANCE COVERAGE

 

[EmersonHart13]

Seriously, you are for real?

I've never had a gun to my head. Im sure that is scary though.. I don't equate paying for services to having a gun to my head.

Secondly like I said somewhere else, move.

Ambulance services are paid for through your health insurance.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Partially

You are only paying for the use, not for them to be ready and waiting when you need them.

 

[Yaj Yak]

that ambulance in the fire station sitting there waiting to head out isn't though.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Great minds think alike

Try not paying your property taxes.

Someone with a gun will come to your door and demand payment, otherwise they will put it to your head to arrest you if you don't comply.

 

[Yaj Yak]

okay, better one then

ZOMG SOMEONE GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE CAR IS ON FIRE AND THE DRIVER IS TRAPPED

run his plates, see if he paid towards fire coverage !!! OTHERWISE LEAVE THE PUMPER IN THE STABLE

Yeah, I'll get evicted by the sheriff and rightfully so. I didn't pay to live there.

I can all but guarantee you I won't be removed with a gun to my head. I've see this happen down the street. They removed them by force, but guns were absolutely not used.

That's how hospitals worked until 1986.

Congress passed EMTALA to eliminate the practice of "patient dumping," i.e., refusal to treat people because of inability to pay or insufficient insurance, or transferring or discharging emergency patients on the basis of high anticipated diagnosis and treatment costs. The law applies when an individual seeks treatment for a medical condition "or a request is made on the individual's behalf for examination or treatment for that medical condition."[1]

Then you must accept you don't own your land or property then, since you are being forced to pay rent to the local govt.

Mine is $2000 a year.. 1100sqft condo in Schaumburg so its Crook county property tax. Association appeals the taxes any time it goes up and gets it lowered back down.
