Hello from the state of Ill. AKA Illinois
« on: 13 May 2020, 04:34 pm »
New here and wanted to say hello from The not so great state of Illinois. Just paid my property taxes for half the year. $5000.00 on a simple 3 bedroom home.

Welcome to the forum. We lived in central Illinois during the early 90s. No complaints, to be honest though, we were working so hard we don't have a lot of memories of our stay.

Welcome!  The tax structure of various states is an interesting topic (was involved in state and local taxes for 25-30 years - started when I was 8 years old of course :lol:) and varies by taxing jurisdiction.  Believe it or not you're not even in one of the most expensive real estate tax areas - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/property-tax-which-homeowners-around-the-u-s-pay-the-highest/   It's just the way it is. Much more enjoyable to discuss audio for sure.

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Welcome to Audio Circle.  :D

When we moved just outside the city limits, our property taxes dropped in half.

Welcome, fellow Illinoisian!  (Illinoisite?) I would say 'Illini', but that has too much of a University of Illinois flavor. :-)
