I guess this is the only case I know of where California did something right.  Years ago a resolution was passed that your property tax is based on the purchase price of the house.  This keeps older people on fixed incomes from being forced out of their homes as inflation rises.  That being said I pay a little over 3,800 a year with an original purchase price of 335K.  It sucks when I talk to my neighbors that have lived in the same house for the last 35+ years and only pay $350 a year, but I still support the resolution.

I think this is a great idea......they are talking about looking at a similar system in the Toronto area.

When I bought my house I paid $2800 a year in taxes 8 years ago......now I am paying $5200.......I have made no major changes other than regular maintenance (new windows, roof, driveway, deck).....my assensent has gone up and doubled what I payed for my house but its all relative....the assessment is based on the market price in your area but if you are not selling then it is unfair that you have to pay taxes based on the fact that now people want to live in your neighborhood and as such have the ability to drive the prices up and force you to move. I have heard many stories from my grandparents of friends they have who pay more a year in taxes than they paid for the house when they first bought it. They are elderly and on a fixed income and some are forced at selling the house they worked their lives to pay off and now their tax bills are litterally taking there home form them......sad really.




That is so true. I don't think there should be any property taxes on a primary residence. The government shouldn't mess with food, clothing & shelter. (there are other things but for the purposes of this thread I'll stick to just those 3 items) Due to property taxes no one can ever really own their homes since you are only a missed taxbill or two away from the government taking your home away from you.

That's just not right.

House is in a sub-division in northeast Lehi, Utah - just south of Salt Lake City.  Got a great view out the kitchen window of the Wasatch Mountains. :icon_smile_big:

You're not too far from me, I'm in Eagle Mtn. (my backyard's still dirt too  ;D ) I don't have any of my house on my pic site, for some reason. :ahum:
This is at the end of my driveway, looking east last Feb. when it was something like 2º outside one morning...(brrrr) showing off the white crap.



Appraised value: $145,000
Market value: Don't know, haven't looked in a while
Taxes: $850-ish

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I live in the country on 1 acre and my house is probably worth 150k. Taxes are currently $1200 a year but I just had an addition put on the house so i'm waiting for them to double.

Yep, it's a 76 or 77 F250 Highboy, he didn't own it very long.
I like those too. :yesnod: I've had two, both 77's. Sold 'em both to be able to buy my house...and my '78 Bronco shortly afterward. :'(

I can't seem to find pics of my other Highboy. This one had a 460/C6 combo, it pulled things great! Terrible mileage though. ;D
BTW, the 2wd on the trailer was one I snagged for $300 with a slipped timing chain. I fixed it & flipped it 3 days later for $1400 to some Mexicans who needed to drive to California. :icon_smile_big:

I bought a 74 f-250  4-wd high boy from a local fire dept that bought it new and it only has 28 k on it , the truck spent its whole life in the firehouse and was used as a brush truck . The body has a few dents but will be an easy resto , new fenders 30.00, door shell 150 , very cheap to make perfect . It has a 360 2bl , c-6 and just bump the key and thing runs like a swiss watch . I only paid 1300 for it ! I had 40 pieces of sheet rock , and 5 pieces of 3/4 ply and the truck came down to level , the truck is a beast.

Well, I'd say we've sucessfully hijacked this thread! :smilielol:

Is the brown Bronco a before shot of the blue one, or a different one? My Bronco was brown too, with a black top.
That old Highboy looks pretty clean. :thumbs:
