Thought of the DAY !
About Property Taxes....
Hypothetically…….. I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $250,000 in 2002 Now the county says it’s worth $1,000,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $1,000,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax on the premise I may make more money next year.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” or "even fair market value".....
It’s about being charged for value you never received. Its about the city squeezing blood from every loyal tax payer until they are taxed out of their home. Its about using our money we have not earned until there is nothing left to earn!
Think about it. Property taxes are on the rise each year and we are paying for a value we have not earned. The cities grow each year with new residents and new property taxes that cover additional services - why tax us - we did not add additional strain to the system, we have been there for years.
Best of luck with our local property taxes and the squeezing out every dollar THEY SEE FIT!
