• Property Taxes

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Thu Mar 13 16:05:14 2025
    I might be crazy, or not understanding something correctly, but I believe that my city has raised my property taxes (this year) by 50%!

    I'm positively thinking that this is some kind of mistake. I don't get tax bills, because my mortgage lender pays my taxes for me through an escrow account. But they sent me a letter saying that my payment is set to increase by $100 per month and that equates to about a 50% increase.

    I did a Google search and NY gov/lunatic Kathy Hochul said that "If Trump abolishes the Dept of Education then you can expect your property taxes to go up to cover the lost money."

    So I'm left wondering "Why did they already go up 50% if the Dept of Ed. hasn't even been abolished yet?"

    Has anyone else seen a ridiculous increase in property taxes this year? (And I mean like really, really ridiculous?)

    Let me know because I swear I need to get the hell out of this state!

    Call the tax assessor they'll tell you right away.

    In Florida, not all states are the same, they cap what they can raise your taxes. So, if there's an old lady living beside you and has owned her property for decades she may be only paying a few hundred dollars a year... whereas if you just bought your house you may be pay a few thousand a year... Of course this depends on the assessed value.

    Closing the Department of Education will take some work... it was started Congress and will need Congress to assist him on that. He may have a work around... Wait and see.

    He wants to keep the money, if he can, at the same levels. He just wants the States to manage the Educational system and not the Federal government. He'd also like to have the money attached to the child so that if your kids are in a failing school you can move them.

    In Florida they have Charter Schools, Ephin Awesome, they are like Public Schools but they are managed by the community. They cost money to attend if your money was attached to the child your payment my drop from $500 a month to $100. Thus making it more affordable.

    The only ones who hate this concept is the Teacher's Union.

    Call your Tax assessor.

    Thanks for explaining that. So, I just searched about that and found that it is capped here at 2%. And that sounds reasonable, but I still have a mystery to solve with the bank wanting an extra $100 per month.

    Apparently the city has decided to stop collecting tax payments 2x per year and will now be collecting it 1x instead. I get that, but I don't get why the bank needs an extra $100 from me per month to facilitate the change.

    Closing the Department of Education will take some work... it was started Congress and will need Congress to assist him on that. He may have a
    work around... Wait and see.

    That makes sense. But I don't think that we have to wait that long for the Democrats to preemptively retaliate against us for it.

    I like charter schools. I had my kid in one before and it was excellent.

    Schools but they are managed by the community. They cost money to
    attend if your money was attached to the child your payment my drop from $500 a month to $100. Thus making it more affordable.

    The only ones who hate this concept is the Teacher's Union.

    They control taxpayer money, they control a portion of the teachers' salaries, they control teachers' minds, they control our kids, and they take power away from parents. But other than all that, sure, teachers' unions are great :)

    Because Trump/Elon have stopped the money laundering. So the Dept is still there, but the money flow has stopped.

    No. But here in Michigan we changed things some (30?) years ago that limit the percent increase in property taxes year over year. So taxes go up slowly and only jump when you buy a new home (which, of course, is a deterrent to getting a new home).

    Let me know because I swear I need to get the hell out of this state!

    If NY can get rid of their socialist "leaders", it has a chance. At least you aren't as bad as California. I say that but I don't know how good the election fraud machine is in NY.

    It does sound ridiculous, but do you know if property values in your area
    have gone up since the last time they adjusted your tax payments?

    I think I was wrong about "the property tax going up 50%," but this seems more like an M&T Bank issue (never let friends use M&T Bank.) I'm gonna try to decode it all on Monday.

    go up slowly and only jump when you buy a new home (which, of course, is

    That's the same here, but rapid changes to our constitution can and do occur overnight sometimes, so I usually fear the worst.

    If NY can get rid of their socialist "leaders", it has a chance. At
    least you aren't as bad as California. I say that but I don't know how good the election fraud machine is in NY.

    I don't know if people here are really as stupid as the Trump-Harris map says they are. When the current governor ran against Lee Zeldin a few years ago, it was a close race. But ever since then I'm seeing more Democrats running unopposed in races, more Democrat victories, and the rinoism is unprecedented. The voting itself might not be rigged, but the candidate nominations sure are.

    Aren't property taxes adjusted every year? My wife tried to decode the information the bank gave us and said that the property tax only went up slightly but that this increase in our monthly payment has something to do with the city's decision to take payments once a year instead of twice a year like they have in the past.

    It's confusing. Some of this stuff goes over my head, but the part that doesn't go over my head is... that they want me to pay an extra $100 per month :(

    Aren't property taxes adjusted every year?

    That probably depends on where you live. Seems like here they can be
    adjusted every year but there is only a "serious re-evaluation" every so
    many years. Sort of like how the electric company estimates your usage for
    a couple of months between the meter readings, at which point you get charged for additional usage during those two months if the estimates were wrong.

    My wife tried to decode the
    information the bank gave us and said that the property tax only went up slightly but that this increase in our monthly payment has something to do
    it
    the city's decision to take payments once a year instead of twice a year like they have in the past.

    Interesting. Ours are collected once/year. The monthly payment can also
    go up in order to keep the minimum amount in your escrow account. Your mortgage company estimates what the insurance and property tax payments
    will be each year and sets your payments accordingly. If the payments turn
    out to be higher than estimated, you may see your monthly payment go up for
    the next year in order to bring the balance in your escrow back up.

    Mine went up this year because the escrow estimate last year was too low
    and the escrow balance got too low after the insurance and taxes were paid.

    It's confusing. Some of this stuff goes over my head, but the part that
    oesn'
    go over my head is... that they want me to pay an extra $100 per month :(

    It is confusing. First time or two it happened to me, it took a lot of
    reading to figure it out.

    There are multiple ways to "rig" an election. In the case of NY, they may have driven out enough non-Wokies to make the election always swing in their favor.

    Here in Michigan, the "cheap" tax bill is the winter one and summer is the "big" one. So if your city is pulling it out once per year, your escrow company needs more money from you now because your summer bill will probably be summer+winter and they need the money in the escrow to cover it.

    My mortgage is paid off, so no escrow for me. But if my city told us that they were going to do only 1 tax bill per year, then I'd be socking away extra money now to cover the bill when it comes due.

    Maybe, but let's hope not. The Democrats are still expressing concern about Trump taking away their illegal immigrant collection. The AG said this today:

    "My office will continue to use every tool at our disposal to fight back and protect the rights of <illegal> immigrants in New York and across our
    country."

    I think we just have stupid voters here, but their stupidity is being pushed to the limit, and it's got to reach the threshold of ignorance pretty soon.

    Who's going to put up with a $300 electric bill and an AG who vows to "protect the rights of illegal immigrants?" The free ride on this stupidity train is going to come to an end.

    I laugh when I hear that. Only citizens have rights. As a courtesy, we extend many of those rights to aliens who are here legally. Illegal aliens have no rights.

    So when the Wokies talk about "protecting the rights of illegals", they are really saying "illegally giving rights to people who have none according to the law."

    I think we just have stupid voters here, but their stupidity is being pushed to the limit, and it's got to reach the threshold of ignorance pretty soon.

    That seems to be the case. The classical liberals have left the party. And even the most ignorant leftist understands their empty wallet.

    Under the Elitist rule it was. But things have changed under Trump.

    The Elitists will actually have to obey the law now and that's a big change for them.


    I hope Trump can get a 3rd term... :) or at least have someone up to speed on how he works his magic!!!

    Well, if Osama can get a 3rd term, why can't Trump? :)

    I have high hopes for Vance. But he still needs to prove himself.

    I was listening to someone's logic the other day where he was saying that there was a way to do it. Constitution says that someone cannot get elected for the presidency more than twice... Paraphrased!!!

    So you have Trump run as VP with someone... Maybe Don Jr... and then Don Jr. steps down and then Trump assumes the presidency. So he gets the Presidency without the election thingy.

    I'm all in if they can pull it off!!!

    Trump's getting old and being in politics is hard work (if you actually work like he does). So I think VP is not in his sights. Advisor maybe.

    I belong to a FB Group... Canadians living in the US... BTW, I also belong to a group called Conservative Canadians living in the US... I had to un subscribe to the first... They did nothing other than virtue signal with each other all day long... And when Trump Trolled Justin and called him the Governor of the 51st state they went with more signaling and even more virtue(ing).

    BTW, I went to see family in Ontario a few months back... and there are people still wearing masks.

    Am election is about to be called in Canada and I think the country is about to fall to Communism/Globalism Castro's son is responsible for all this happening.

    It seems that all the Left can do is virtue signal and lie.

    I still see it sometimes in my area. We usually just laugh at them and move on.

    Ya, Canada is getting closer and closer to socialism. If it does happen, the U.S. will be locking down our northern borders too.

    I think Canada is done, we'll see how the election goes though.

    We'll see how the election goes though. Canada uses a parliamentary system... Some times governments don't get a majority and have to work as/in a coalition government... Factions working together... I know this sounds cool but...

    Quebec, the French speaking province has a federal political party that wants to separate from the country. This party will work with the Liberal party to end Canada as a country or it may get voted in as the official opposition party. I have no clue as to why this party is allowed at the federal level.


    The only thing that can save Canada, right now, is that the Conservative party wins a majority and it's allowed to unwind Trudeau's mess. Political cycle is short and we won't have long to wait to see a result.

    You mean the "election". I believe that Canada has California elections. i.e. keep "counting" votes until the results are what the Elitists want.

    To separate people. That's what the Leftists do. They need to keep people apart in small groups to keep them from coming together and opposing the Elitists.

    Conservative party wins a majority and it's allowed to unwind Trudeau's mess.

    So pretty much like the U.S.

    This could be true... US ballots are complected, you vote everything in... Even the dog catcher... My Citrus County Ballots are usually 14, or so, inches long packed with all kinds of things on it.

    Alberta wanted to go with machine counting and the ballot only had 2 choices on it... Just 2... not 15... Just 2. With all the bad press about machine counting they chose to start it when it would have more choices on the ballots.

    Trudeau also started to have expats voting as well... Prior to that you couldn't vote if you weren't living in the country. Starting all this mail in ballot BS.

    Moreover, there are a lot of people still buying into the Government BS. I went to see my family in Ontario in January and I hear some people were getting their COVID vaccine for variant 35... or whatever.

    My family is all conservative and won't be voting Liberal but I do think we've gone past the point of no return in Canada. There are too many Liberal retards in Quebec and Ontario that might seal the countries fate.

    Ya, but that doesn't mean that our votes count.

    I recall about 10 years ago, we had an item on the ballot that got resoundingly voted down. Then the Elitists in Congress just passed a bill that made it happen anyway.

    So much for "democracy".

    Trudeau also started to have expats voting as well... Prior to that you couldn't vote if you weren't living in the country. Starting all this mail in ballot BS.

    Mail-in ballots makes it easier to cheat.

    Moreover, there are a lot of people still buying into the Government
    BS. I went to see my family in Ontario in January and I hear some
    people were getting their COVID vaccine for variant 35... or whatever.

    My condolences.

    There's always a tipping point. If the number of people who benefit from the corruption exceed the number of people getting screwed, the corruption will continue.

    The funny thing is that the Elitists keep thinking that other people are like chess pieces: placed on a board and do nothing. Reality hits them in about 10 years as the people getting screwed leave.

    It's hard to have corruption when all your productive people have left the system.
