Property taxes in my suburban area are very high, but that's primarily to fund the schools and the school system is one of the top systems in the state. We pay more than other areas of the state, but we get a lot back, too. Sales taxes come in at 9% and that 9% is applied to groceries as well. ugh.Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348650157037720366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-65980948893450124942011-10-06T13:55:40.296-04:002011-10-06T13:55:40.296-04:00Mysti, I know Idaho ranks 48 on low education rate...Mysti, I know Idaho ranks 48 on low education rates. We are an ignorant lot. We also pay very high groceries where we live but most other things are cheap.

I forgot to look at what number my state is. Luckily my property tax just went down and it's around $2,500 a year. And I saw my tax receipt the other day though and $2,000 of my taxes goes towards the library. That's a big percentage of what I make and I've never even owned $2,000 worth of books before. ahhhh taxes are insaneMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699594650305506763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-23406928670784705022011-10-06T09:54:19.219-04:002011-10-06T09:54:19.219-04:00Yes, please take that article with a slight grain ...Yes, please take that article with a slight grain of salt. I lived in Mississippi and the taxes are very high. Texas is less expensive even with the higher property taxes! Oil (or gas here for the home) is around $100 in the winter and $30 in the summer!

And yeah I'm not sure about the article. It doesn't include the local taxes, and where I live there is both a local and city tax on top of the state and federal tax, so it can be pretty high.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699594650305506763noreply@blogger.com
