[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing about buying a home in Takoma Park is the huge local TP tax.  In Bethesda, we only pay county taxes, not county + local neighborhood tax.  Homes in Bethesda start about 600K and go up from there (my little neighborhood has a huge range from 550K to 1.5M).  Equivalent homes in CC  are about 100K higher.  I think more people in CC send their kids to private school than in Bethesda.  Bethesda has great schools and pretty good diversity, at least in my neighborhood (though not as much as TP), and is very safe.  Chevy Chase, DC is very nice, but I have not heard very good things about DC public schools.  If you want to live in DC, you should also check out AU Park (around American University).  Too pricey for us, but I love the homes and lots of families with young kids and nice neighborhoods. [/quote]

Aren't local taxes a setoff against county tyaxes (so net-net it's the same?) I used to pay local Gaithersburg city taxes but it didn't change my overall tax amount because it was offset against the county and state taxes. Maybe things have changed in recent years however.[/quote]
