I'm a single male. I moved to Farmington. I have no clue how the schools are, but I can tell you this... They have no driver's education courses in high school, and IT SHOWS BIG TIME. People drive in the left lane far below max speed for the zone, and it drives me insane. They leave their turn signals on for miles. They can't center their damn cars in a parking stall for shit. But hey, it's a little sacrifice for freedom.
Just to give you an idea, I had a $150k, 1k sq ft house, full unfinished basement, and 6k sq ft lot in IL. I paid $2500 in property tax. This was St. Clair County.
Here, I have a $150k, 1500 sq foot house, full unfinished basement, and a 12k sq ft lot. This is in St. Francois County. I pay $1300 in property tax, plus personal property taxes, which come up to a grand total of about $1800. Personal property tax is vehicle and car trailer. PP taxes vary by county, and decline with the vehicle based on NADA values.
