Add Florida to that list and I bet there are more. The appraisals are capped at 3% a year here.

+1 It's easier to control the local critters.

Don't forget the school board, that's the main expense around here.

Look at your tax bill and see who is reaching into your pocket.

In DE the schools must hold referendum to increase taxes in neighboring PA if the schools want more money they just take it.

PA passed a law that limits (supposedly)the increases. Their business managers seems to finagle around it and if they are desperate they can apply to the state for an exemption; which always seems to be granted. It's for the kids!

It's all part of Biden's Misery Index.

And with the democrats shutting down pipelines, gas prices will only get worse.

I thought it was nearly comical when an economist said if you take away gas and food price increase that inflation was only about 3%. So all we need to do is stop eating and driving and heating our houses and our finances should be OK.

I had not kept up on this. I also know that PA schools are better and people here think about moving over the border where they might pay an extra $5,000 in property tax but save several thousand in not having to send their kids to private schools.

Not exactly, they also want to exclude home prices and rent from inflation numbers so heating your home is not an issue. You are living under a bridge.

When it comes to calculating a social security raise the included and excluded items change every year to give the lowest raise.

If houses and rent are up, they leave it out, if they are down , they put it back in.
