Yeah if you’re going to appeal it you’re going to need a legal appraisal and that usually goes by what Houses in the area have sold for in the last few years. Don't need an appraisal, a Broker Price Opinion usually suffices. I do some for clients every year. That good to know…The two folks I know got an appraisal for their appeal. What does a BPO usually cost a person if I may ask? |

What does a BPO usually cost a person if I may ask? No set price, each agent can set their own amount. I've done them for anywhere between $50 and $200 depending on the difficulty of the valuation. |

It is criminal. Taxation is theft. Agree with you there. I'm fine with a sales tax, that's a tax that you can opt in or out based on your consumerism. But property, come on. |

If we don't have taxes how do you propose we pay for these services? Some of these services are necessary to a functional society. And for the record to state my position, I believe taxes are too wide spread and too high and government spending is incredibly wasteful, but I do see the need for taxes at a certain level. |

I honestly would not mind paying them either as you said some services buildings we need but much like you so much is wasted over spent used on special projects I wish I had a answer on how to fix it sometimes I fill no matter who I vote for it’s still not going to change |

Just got our tax bills and paid them. Total real estate taxes actually went down several hundred dollars.
One of our farms had an old home on it and they were taxing that parcel as a dwelling. We tore the old house down and cleaned up the lot, then they adjusted the rate to reflect bare ground.
If you have old structures or buildings that aren't being used, check to see if they are affecting your taxes. Might be money ahead to level them?

And for the record to state my position, I believe taxes are too wide spread and too high and government spending is incredibly wasteful, but I do see the need for taxes at a certain level. I'd propose to start with 90% of it be eliminated and the rest be paid for by the people who USE IT.
Taxes COLLECTED don't pay for much as it is now. Most government expenses right now are paid for with debt and newly printed fiat money right now. Taxation isn't a tool for government to pay it's way. It is used as punishment for behavior they object to but don't have the nerve to straight up ban. Yet. Taxation is theft, coercion, extortion, carrot and stick but sure as heck not voluntary.

It would be impossible to figure out who wants what program. Oh you decided not to pay for the fire department fund, guess your house will be a total loss. You decided not to pay for road maintenance, guess you better no step foot off your property. You decided not to pay for the public lands initiative, don't step foot on public hunting land. I understand the frustration over taxes but it's completely illogical when you get down to the argument against it. Some of it is a necessity. |

Sounds like they have too many programs if they can't keep track of them. How do you think they paid for roads and fire departments BEFORE they had income tax?
Taxes are not voluntary. They are taken from you under threat of violence and imprisonment. That is theft.

People don't want to pay for things they don't need, until they do. Folks complain about the government, and many times rightly so. but the list of government things they use on a daily basis is long, and none of them would be willing to forgo the use of those things. You could start by having them never drive on a paved road again and go from there. I'm not a fan of taxes, but I also understand they are a necessary evil. |

The Tax Poem
Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table at which he's fed.
Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes are the rule.
Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts anyway!
Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries tax his tears.
Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has, Then let him know, That you won't be done till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers, Then tax him some more, Tax him till he's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in which he's laid.
Put these words Upon his tomb, 'Taxes drove me to my doom...'
When he's gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply the inheritance tax.
