Property tax due...
 

:eek:

$559.80 Ouchee!

There oughta be a law...

WOW! I thought i was doing bad at $350.00

what is that....for 1 year??

County?
 

Hey down in Cabarrus County...not nearly as bad! I always considered property tax on cars a scam anyway...politicians finding another way to get their hands on our money! :eek:

Yup. Just 1 year. Ah, they get you one way or another. Around here, it's property taxes.

Bahstahrds!!

i wish mine was that much. We just got our bill (3,900)

lol you complaining about $600 for the entire year? man i wish i were that lucky!!!!

how much RUmble? Make my day! :)

Oh , yeah, and Rotorgeek, holy crap!!!!!!!!

over $1000.00

$2457 here, and thank Howard Jarvis for Prop 13 or it would be close to $6000

Try $4,000/year for a modest 1,300 sq ft three bed two-bath house in the San Francisco Bay Area. That's an extra $333 a month in payments just for the friggen taxes. Even if I pay my house off I'm stuck with a significant payment to "the man" for the rest of my existence in this house...

Oh, and it would be around $500/mo if I were being taxed at assessed value. It just crazy out here :mad:

I hear ya bro. West L.A. - my condo is about $2700 a year.

I don't think that he was talking about property tax on his house. I think that he was talking about property tax on his car.

I could be wrong though.

No, you're right. The tax is just on my 8. Sorry, I should have noted that. Ok, now I gotta go find my prop tax on my home... :) I'll be back...

You guys got nothing on me. I pay $6500/year for taxes on a 3 bedroom house on Long Island.

And we were just complaining about ours- for 2 cars we had to pay $260...thought we were getting the short end of the stick. (our property tax isn't nearly what everyone else's is, either- around $2,500 for a 2,200 sq ft 4 bedroom house). I feel rather fortunate right now....

No property tax on cars in Illinois (yet another reason why I live here), but the property taxes on houses are a bitch ... $10,000 year on my house!

My wife's dad has a house in NJ, it's $8,000 a year.

If the same house was in newark, it would be $20,000 a year just for taxes.

One month he paid over $3,000 just for the heating bill.

Next year when gas prices are expected to hit $3 per gallon, forget about it..

$837.65 prop. tax on my home last year. 3br, 2100sqft, 1.18 acres in a nicely established suburbian subdivision. Thanks guys, I'm feeling much better now. :)

Mugatu, man, that's rough. That difference alone might justify my buying Hymee's blower, when he gets it ready. ;)

Eek. Property tax on cars? I never heard of that.... maybe luxury tax... I don't think there's property tax on cars here in NJ. I should feel lucky then.

Thank god they don't tax cars here in florida

You guys pay property tax on CARS? Man, I thought Canadian taxes were bad, but I guess we're not suffering as much as some!

Which is not to say that we're not getting nickeled and dimed to death other ways ...

$450 for my RX-8 in VA

Can someone explain this to me? Are you saying you have to pay $559.80 every year separate from your car insurance just to own the rx8? Is that actually an annual property tax fee? I've never heard of this, so someone please clarify it for me. I paid sales tax on car when purchased, and I pay car insurance, and that's it. This is new to me.

Yeah, in some states, you pay property tax on cars & boats as well as homes. Like homes, they are appraised & taxed a millage rate. Add school district, etc. porkbarrel taxes also...

If you don't pay it, your registration expires. Gotta pay the taxes before they renew the registration. They get done together here. The registration renewal fee is in there as well.

Depends where you live but that's right in some states you have to pay property tax on your car every year, just as you do with your house!
I live in Northern VA and pay tax on my car. If I lived across the river in DC I wouldn't pay anything on the car but would pay higher income tax, so I'm better off in VA.

Wow interesting. I guess there's a catch to everything though. I live in PA, and there is no property tax on cars. However, I bet my car insurance is a crapload higher then yours, and that makes up for the property tax, and then some. Either way we all get hit one way or another. Income tax here is high, as is property tax, so if I did have to pay property tax on rx8, I'd FREAK. :)

Your FIL may want to look into better insulation and a more efficient heating and cooling system (like geothermal). :eek: How big is his house?

Like VikinDJ said, we have no separate tax on cars in PA, but the property taxes for my little 1200sq ft house is around $3000.

I left there in 1993 and was paying $7200 on 1100 sq ft on 1/5 acre

Now I pay $10k for two properties, one of them direct ocean front and no income tax.

That's right, Florida has no income tax. Good point.

They wouldn't be able to count how much is due anyway... :p

Blahhhahha $5900 for my house, rather my parents... but I still hear about it.

SC has a $300 cap on sales tax for cars. :)

Would Delaware be a better idea theres no sales tax there among a couple others right?

A Tax is a Tax and by any other name woud be just as...
 

In California we have a VLF (Vehicle License Fee) i.e. yet another tax that we have to pay yearly. It's about .65% of your vehicles value. So if the state says your 8 is worth $25,000 your tax is about 25,000 x .0065 = $162.

BTW Last year they tripled the tax to 2%, but it was repealed when they tossed out the governor and put in the Governator...

No sympathy here on those who pay property tax. In the end, people in NJ, NY and PA pay a boatload more taxes then anyone down south. Full 6% sales tax added to the purchase price of your car. I paid $1955 in sales tax on my rx8. Add the costly insurance on car, and well, it sucks to live here thats' for sure. Cost of living is so very high. I'd take the extras you pay over what I pay any day.

Forgot to add that sales tax around here on car purchases is 8.5%

I gotta move to Florida.

In Canada we pay 7% GST on car purchases, all all provinces (except mine) have a provincial sales tax as well.

However, sales taxes are a one-time cost when purchasing. I'd take that any day over a property tax I have to pay every year!

Not so fast...they will figure out some other way to get your $$$
(or not give it to you in the first place.)

read http://www.retirementliving.com/RLtaxes.html for some considerations.

FWIW: Florida is ranked #45 @8.8% tax burden. Ny is #1@12.9% (Big
Surprise there - not!) So, while the per capita state tax burden is
47% higher as a percentage of income, (about $2300 more in NY)
but the per capita income is about $7300 (22%) more. This leaves
you with a net $5000 more!

The flaw here is that that extra money is quickly consumed several times over
by higher (non tax related) prices on most everything.

LOL, you people have it good...

1900sqft, 3 bed, 1 1/2 bath.... $9000 / year.... north jersey suburb, about 30 minutes from the GWB

It really doesn't matter which state you live in you are still going to pay a butt load of taxes. If your state doen't levy taxes on personal vehicles, then their registration renewal fees are usually higher, if not then the real property taxes are higher or the income tax is higher. If you have no state income tax your sales tax is going to be higher. Some states like CA., NY., NJ., etc do not fit this model, most states do. CA. with Prop. 13 has created a situation where some peoples property taxes are low, but the other taxes everyone pays is higher.

Taxes what a big #@*$$* mess!

I just wanna be a $20k income earning head of household with 2 infants. Talk about the government PAYING YOU to live in a sorry state of existence. Can you say Earned Income Credit? Hahahaha!!1!!1!! I love this country!!! (Uh oh. Did I go there?)
