Property Tax Credit

[lunkerslayer]

have you found a solution to prevent property taxes from going up 10-20-30 % every year ? I know my income doesn't go up 10-20-30 % every year

Wow that's crazy since my property taxes fluctuate from year to year,.again this is not a statewide issue this is a local issue.

The state requires all homes be re-assessed for value yearly. so it is a state issue not local

Yup, state says so but local is the one doing the job for assessing.

state tax laws specifically outlines how property is assessed.

what else would the spenders of property tax monies say. your entire list is people that spend tax payer monies and are paid and have benefits with tax payer money.

All of the people on my list are significant land owners. A vast majority of the people that are on the school board are ranchers that own 1,000+ acres. The individuals that are on the city commission owns multiple residential rental property along with a hospitality business. And 2 of the 3 county commissioners that I spoke with are ranchers and owner 640-1280ac of land.

So they are the people who "pay the piper" a little more than just someone paying $3000 on property tax on their "Primary Dwelling".

They were told by the people who were lobbying for it that each county commission, city council & School board would have to Lobby for the money that they were needing to operate their budgets. Well that isn't going to happen, and I would never personally be in favor for that. I'm all for less taxes, but you need to have a plan for how you're going to replace what is taken away. Especially in this case. 1/3 of our local school budget comes from mill levies in the county. The other 2/3 comes from the State, paid out on a "per-head" basis for student numbers.

Are you saying a 1,000 acre, or even 2,000 acre rancher pays the piper on property taxes???

No, I'm saying that these individuals pay a good chunk of tax as well. So it would be to their benefit if property tax disappeared.

Some land south of Dickinson just sold for $3,800 an acre.
Pretty sure that is way over priced, but regardless the tax burden on that is miniscule as compared to the intown lot rate.

The funny thing about taxes, they don't go down, they don't go away, and most of the services funded by them are bloated and ridiculous, and people are brainwashed into the need for them, and for them to increase constantly. Its the strangest damn thing in the world.

People in general are adverse to change, even if it's for the better.

It's human nature and for the most part, the older you are, the harder it is.

The beatings will continue until moral improves....
