Reply #38: I had two houses at one time... [View All]

Both of comparable value, that is the way to truly compare property tax...

One was in one of the wealthiest suburbs but very modest in deed...

One was in the inner ring, was a double and nothing extrodianary...


I pair twice as much for one......


If you guess the inner ring suburb, you are correct.....

The reason taxes are so high in inner ring suburbs is that values have peaked and that servives are going up, ie more old folks, more fire, more hosiptal, more polics....

In the wealthier subuebs, the place is growing like crazy. New homes that are charged taxes for a year or so before the are occupied because of the change in valueof the property with no increased services....
