The problem with property taxes is that they typically reflect the market value of the home (or property in general) which they really shouldn't. You shouldn't have to pay more taxes because a home you live in is somehow worth more money which is only based on how much people are willing to pay to live in your neighborhood. Parcel taxes should be the extent of what property taxes are, you need a little extra money fine let people vote on it, not making as much money? FIND OTHER FUNDING. The point of owning a home is that you no longer want to rent, now you're just renting from the government and if you don't pay they'll kick you out of your own home and take it.

Sure people who buy new into the insane market end up paying relatively large property taxes (or the renters do when the cost is passed on) but someone who owned their home for a while won't all of a sudden be priced out of living there because their 1200 sqft house is valued at over 1.3M (not speaking from experience or anything...)

It should absolutely be tied to the value of the home because the homeowner can "double dip" by sitting on a GROWING Gold Mine while not paying the taxation for it. A more pragmatic solution should be allowing the homeowner to make a choice that if they don't want property tax tied to the value of their home, then they should not benefit from increased home values. This is what public housing does. Public housing will sell you a home below market value but then not allow you to resell it based on market value. Hence keeping it "affordable"

An increase in taxes of this magnitude is politically very sensitive and it is incredible they proceeded with out preparing their constituency. They should all be thrown out of office.

Even renters will see the rents go up, too. The mortgages go up because the lenders usually collect additional money from the homeowners on impound (escrow) and pay the taxes and insurance on the home (bank's collateral). It's their way to make sure the house stays insured and the taxes paid up.

Property tax is the biggest scam by the taxing authority. Your income doesn't change, but property value goes up, taxing authority wants to charge you accordingly.

Property taxes don't work this way anywhere else in the country (that I know of) so I wouldn't worry too much. In sane cities, as long as there's no change in ownership, there's an annual cap on tax increases (around 2%) so even if your valuation goes up 30% one year, your taxes will only increase 2%. Your tax rate also has nothing to do with "the pie" and how many people appeal, which is the most asinine thing I've ever heard. Homeowners there basically have an uncapped variable tax rate, while I guess businesses have a fixed rate since apparently they pay less tax when their valuation goes down, *unlike homeowners who pay more as a result while their valuation barely changes. It's madness.

Problem is the government has never had a budget. A budget is when you see how much money you have then decide how to best spend it.

People can't decide arbitrarily how much they want to spend then demand their employer pay them that much. Neither should the government.

This is one of the very few occasions where I can say we handle something better in California. Back in the 1970s we passed Proposition 13. This bases your property tax on the purchase price of your home and it can only go up by 2% a year MAXIMUM if your property value goes up. Best way to keep senior citizens and those on a fixed income from getting taxed out of their own home. So of course there are many Democrats that want to repeal Prop 13 so that they can squeeze even more taxes out of Californians.

@sheldoninst

Жыл бұрын

CA does everything wrong.. here’s the perverse consequences of a patchy prop 13: 1) to compensate for lower property taxes, govt artificially inflated home prices by creating home scarcity - by dramatically restricting new home building permits. New permits costs match or exceed the material cost to building the home itself, and can take 2-4 years to be granted.. ridiculous. 2) No one can move to a more suitable home. Moving means a dramatic increase in property taxes, so no one moves and new homebuyers are shut out or forced to pay exorbitant prices. The cost of home ownership entry in CA is higher than any other state by far, almost double anywhere else. 3) prop 13 is generational, and will eventually be repealed because those beneficiaries are dying off, and new home owners are getting killed… in the meantime, the high property taxes will go even higher and home prices will still be out of control. Solutions: 1) compute property taxes on a combination of assessed value and the city’s fixed costs of maintenance. 2) cap property taxes increases to a fraction of inflation. 3) cap property taxes to never exceed 1% of current assessed value, with assessments occurring no more than every 3-5 years. 4) stamp out public sector unions - they’re ultimately the driver of all these public sector lavish increases. 5) transparency, manifest with a voter mandated approval of any new tax, and salary for city managers and county assessors. 6) this will solve the CA housing crisis: remove permit restrictions, exorbitant fees and grant permits within 30-60 days.

I don't disagree with a lot of what you wrote, but this is totally not true in CA. Since 1986 there has been Proposition 60, and more recently the revised rules in Proposition 19, that make it possible for people 55 and older to move to a new home and transfer their old tax base. This allows people to downsize but not necessarily make a big jump up in property tax payments.

@@sweepingdenver Prop 13 is a great deal for people who bought home in the 80s. They pay peanuts in taxes but get the same benefits as the new owner next door who pays 4x the amount. And tax assessments are readily voted in which are based on your tax basis, hitting late buyers much harder. People who bought after 2000 can't afford to stay in their homes after retirement. It makes for a very uneven standard of living. Also if you renovate your home, it should be revalued at market price but the early buyers I know just renovate "quietly" or live in a run down house. Taking your old tax base when you move is a great help but only for people who bought decades ago. However given the venal nature of the politicians, if Prop 13 is shot down, they will just raise taxes on the early birds and spend more.

I feel their pain. We live in 1 of 2 small towns on a small WA coast peninsula. Late last year we were faced with a $146 million dollar school bond to revamp the district schools that necessitated the shutdown of the thriving school in our town. It was obvious that most of the money would go to the sports department for a new stadium, field house, etc., when just rennovating them would be much cheaper. The cost to taxpayers would have been $700 to $1200 increase in property taxes and would have caused many to move away. Fortunately, we mobilized and soundly defeated the bond. But a month later, the county raised property taxes more than 50%. However, the county did offer to lower property taxes for those who qualified, and at the same time, a 20 year old previous school bond was just paid off. So, collectively, we’re probably paying less taxes this year than last year.
