[QUOTE="walleyeman_1875, post: 198006, member: 2147"] Property taxes are the best thing in this country. I love hearing people say that at least the mill levy is staying the same or going down. It's all BS as they key factor in property taxes is the damn assessment process. I'm still crunching numbers and trying to get my Excel spreadsheet to show me how finishing out my basement for about $10,000 equates out to a $57,000 increase to my assessed value. My basement is just under 1,000 sq. ft. I'm scared out of my mind about building a deck this year. I poured the slab and footings this fall which was probably a mistake. Looks like I'll be paying about $800/year going forward for the use of my basement. I suppose my $8,000 deck will cost my $600 per year. I should mention that I self-perform the work but this is a bit crazy. On the bright side, I'm getting closer to getting the wife(+three kids) agreeing to sell the house and move into a one bedroom apartment. I told here we could even buy a sparkly boat if she agreed!!!!!she just rolled her eyes. Not too sure how to interpret that one. [/QUOTE]
