The point is that people are house burdened and tax rates should be lowered to help taxpayers afford staying in their homes.

Two potential options:

1. I'm sure you could find someone who will pay the increases in your property taxes in exchange for you giving up all increases in your property value when it's time to sell your house. Heck, I'll take that deal. Is this something you're willing to do?

2. You can get a reverse mortgage to help pay your property taxes.

Finally, please name a single place in this country where your property tax stays the same even as your property value goes up.

Again, this is an exceptionally stupid thread started by someone who hates Maryland because it is people complaining about something that is very, very good for them -- their property value going up. It's a truly enviable position to be in to own a home and have it increase in value, especially the dramatic increases we've seen these past few years. Many people are now priced out of homeownership, and in the face of 20% increases in property value, amounting to HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars, people are complaining that their property value has gone up by a couple of thousand. It's hard to imagine a complaint so stupid.

If you live in Montgomery County or PG County, and you live within a town/city in these counties, you are paying both city and county property taxes. It adds up when you are just trying to stay in your home and not profit off selling your house. STFU.

Yes, because you are receiving both city and county services.

Nothing has changed except that your property value has gone up. If you don't want to profit off selling your house, you can definitely find someone who will take the gains in your property value in exchange for them paying the increase in your property taxes. STFU.

Yes, because you are receiving both city and county services.

In a lot of cases, you’re receiving city services instead of county services, but you’re still paying the county as if you’re only receiving county services because the county has been delinquent in reimbursing municipalities for services they provide. In effect, by living in a municipality, you’re paying twice (the municipality for providing the service and the county just because it can make you pay).

If you don't like paying property taxes to the municipality, you shouldn't buy property in the municipality. Or, if you already own property in the municipality, you should sell it. If you didn't know about the property taxes or the municipality before you bought the property, you didn't do your due diligence.

That’s a ridiculous solution to the county not fulfilling its obligation to reimburse municipalities. Reimbursement is actually the law but sometimes the county just decides to default: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/montgomerycounty/latest/montgomeryco_md/0-0-0-137859.

If that's your concern, then as a resident of a municipality, you can advocate to your elected municipal officials to pursue reimbursement from the county. Or, in a suitable year, you can run for municipal office yourself. You can also advocate to your elected county officials for the county to reimburse the municipality.

(Assuming that your assertion about defaulting on reimbursement is correct.)

There’s a link to the law on reimbursement in be post you replied to, so there’s no need to assume whether the assertion is correct. Municipalities have lobbied the county but only rarely succeeded. Maybe the county government should be better at keeping its promises, but there’s very little integrity in Rockville.

As an example, I live in a city in PG and I feel like we do not get adequate county services. In my neighborhood we recently had a meeting with a PGPD officer from our district about the increasing crime and response times; basically, PG doesn't have the police resources to handle these minor crimes. So now we are wondering if we should get our own city police force, but that will lead to higher city taxes. The crime was not like this in my neighborhood when I moved here.

It is definitely frustrating.

Municipalities? I suppose not. Rockville could muster an army and invade and occupy Gaithersburg, maybe. That would totally be like changing the zoning for a neighborhood from only one kind of residential building allowed to various different kinds of residential buildings allowed.

Property tax assessments should only be done once every 10-20 years. Who gives a crap what a home is worth on paper. I can't live in fake wealth on paper. Homes are a place to live, they're not the stock market. Constantly increasing taxes on housing creates instability for shelter. Awful. They're just numbers on paper while people need actual places to live.

Wait until you find out about rent.
