Suburb of Chicago, still in Cook County, paid $220k for my house, pay $4k in taxes. 3br, 2bath, about 1300 sq feet.Out of curiosity for those of you in low cost of living areas (A house for < 200K WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW CHEAP)
How much do you play in residential taxes?
Crazy that it's a flat dollar value exemption, in TX it's a %.Its 50k. Really nice and needed since taxes can run high depending on where you are and how bad the non ad valorem hits you. Hilarious because if you look for homes in one community the tax can be X and if you go to the next community it might be 50-100% more just based on those non ad valorem portions. A lot of it has to do with the water management and how much the developer impacted the area. If they took the time to build a lot of lakes and preserve with proper drainage the fees are low, if not then they can be double or more. Pretty crazy. Just keep an eye on it if you shop in SE FL it can be quite a difference. Not sure on the rest of the state.

/whistles quietly - happy in new knowledge I was unaware of that makes me happy to have picked here to control costs. (Other benefits are awesome too - but being fixed income besides investments - it's good to keep stuff from being able to flux too much)Not only that but it caps the assessment increase at 3% per year. So if values go crazy again, which is very likely since FL is a popular place to end up, your actual tax bill can only go up by 3% assuming the mileage rates stay the same which they usually do in high growth areas.
In addition, there is even portability of the lower assessment if you move and qualify.
So my actual house is much more than 200k, but the rentals are not. Homestead exemptions vary based on where you live - you can see where I live they offer MASSIVE exemptions. My tax bill is super small given the value of my house. Anyone in Texas will tell you thatOut of curiosity for those of you in low cost of living areas (A house for < 200K WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW CHEAP)

Do both of your bathrooms have showers or tubs? If one does not have those things it is not considered a full bathroom. kinda like a bedroom has to have a closet.So I applied for a HELOC, and the "appraiser" gives them a price of about 160k (15-30k below market value) based on comps in my neighborhood.
It seems that this is in large part due to my tax assessment showing only one bathroom. The houses which were built at the same time and in the same style as mine with 3br/2b are going for more like 175-190k.
I knew they were probably going to only go for the lower end, but this was a lot lower.
How the heck do I get this fixed? And I'm assuming this will raise my property taxes?
What a pain in the ass.
