I live in JOCO as well and tend to agree with the previous comments.
Good schools, lots of choices on homes based on your budget, and for KS JOCO/KC metro offers many options for culture and entertainment if that is what your after.
If your working on the MO side there is a1% earnings tax to be aware of. KS property tax is too high and as mentioned you get popped for personal property tax on vehicles yearly in addition to sales tax when you buy. Unfortunately the KS legislature has used these DOT funds to give K-12 schools so much money that the road system is not being enhanced or maintained.
Good firearms laws, constitutional carry open/concealed, and many folks are gun owners (hunting / sporting clays / etc.). If there is a no firearms sign in a business you can walk past it without any issues, if asked by the establishment you must leave. There are no fines or violations if you leave, if not it is trespass.
With KSU/ Chiefs football, KU basketball, Royals/T Bones, and NASCAR there are good sports locally. Many folks hunt/fish here as well.
