I just finished mailing two checks for yearly Property Tax & Home insurance......even for my humble abode both came to $4387.74.

It looks like it's just gonna be 'jam' sandwiches for awhile......which is just two pieces of plain ol' white bread jammed together.

Okay I'm done whining now. :(






 
Our property taxes aren't bad. For five different properties with two homes sitting on two different parcels, less than $1800 year. Not due until March though.
 
Between taxes and insurances, those are my biggest expenses too. I am lucky that they are spread out during the year--car is due in spring, taxes are in April and August then homeowners in the fall. Not much we can do to avoid these things except move into an area with a lesser tax base or a smaller home. Still, there is no guarantee, they can also go up. One positive for me is we don't have to pay wage tax once retired. Even when we die, we still owe taxes!

As I understand it, Texas doesn't have a personal income tax. If that is the case, you can bet they will make up for that with things like property tax and sales tax. One way or another, the government will figure out a way to get into a persons wallet.
 
Sorry but it makes me glad I live in an apt. I see why my brother is moving from a house to an apt. I think his prop. tax is $1000. a month!
 
we live in a hundred year old fixer upper with wood heat...taxes over a grand a year ...gotta pay for all that good government.
