[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like textbook “angry white man syndrome”. Just a standard boilerplate maga rant. “[i]Oh, my property taxes are too high!” “You’re spending MY money on brown people!” “I’ll close my remarks by threatening you.”[/i]

Fortunately there are more than enough good and decent people in MoCo to drown out violent screaming nutjobs like that a-hole. [/quote]

why is it maga?  i'm not maga and my property taxes have almost increased 100% in a decade or so.  why should I be happy about that.

and before you talk about home prices, we havent gotten any better services in a decade to justify 100% increase in property taxes.  51% goes to MCPS and elrich wants a special assessment on top of the increases for Capital projects.

maybe you dont care but people are fed up.  [/quote]

Your property taxes increased 100% because the value of your home increased 100%

+1. Always amazing when people complain about their property taxes which means they have the good fortune of having their property value risen dramatically. If your property value went from $1 million to $2 million, sure the $10K increase in taxes would be annoying to some extent, but I would be celebrating my good fortune of having gained $1 million even if it's "unrealized" until I sell. Plus, those property taxes are deductible so if you're truly house poor, you'll get lots of it back.[/quote]

DP.  To keep from making folks (as) house poor after the fact with rate increases on top of assessment increases from unrealized gain, we could divide property tax increases between, say, that indexed to inflation and anything more or that associated with the purchase price and the unrealized gain, allowing one portion or the other, with interest, to accrue to a ledger that gets charged on later property transfer (e.g., at settlement from a sale or from estate bequest).[/quote]

If property taxes from your 100% gain in property value are so onerous to you, just sell and rent. You can rent a super fancy place with your hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of gains, much of which will be tax free. You can also move to a jurisdiction that has the property tax structure you so ardently desire (if one exists). As a bonus, hopefully you’ll be able to move to somewhere where people spend all day railing about “socialists,” just like you do. [/quote]
