Quoted:
Pay attention to what is coming down the pipe ~snippage Be prepared, taxes (mil rate) will be going up. If not this year, then next year. This is in addition to the increased valuation of the property that seems to come annually. If you rent, you still pay property tax, its just in your rent payment So many people do not understand this. What burns me about school bonds is they throw things into a bond package that do not belong there, from patching potholes in the parking lot to simple renovations (new paint or carpeting). I know, this is so the state picks up a big portion of the tab instead of the local government. The local voters have massive leverage over the rest of the state through matching funds. One of the big selling points for a recent ~$50 million Matsu bond package was the state would cover most of it. Imagine, 10,000 households voting in bonds worth a cool half-million per friggin' household with NO chance of paying for it alone. These packages come up every 3-5 years, it seems. Those turkeys who put those packages together must high-five each other when they pass with 51% of the vote. A higher approval would mean they screwed up putting the package together. |

It varies in the borough, but last year my mill rate was 15.122 Of course the assholes raised my property value nearly $46,000 last year as well This year my property value only went up nearly $19,000 It is getting very close to what it was appraised at when we bought it in 2013. My last house never really came near appraised value in the 10+ years we owned it |

This won't be a bond package, this will be raising the mill rate And it seems like a lot of people who are not home owners do not understand how it works. They vote because it doesnt cost them anything. Little do they realize that those taxes get passed along to them in form of their rent |
