Property tax is killer

If you own a home in my area valued at $700-$800k, your property tax per year is ~$2200-$2500. If your house is paid for, this is nothing. You pay that much MONTHLY in rent to some sleazy landlord around here.

Property tax in my state (NJ) is insane. I think the town I live in is close to 4%, and houses are very expensive in the northern part of the state, which is where the jobs are

4% is fucking ridiculous! The houses must be worth nothing

Thats the thing, houses in north jersey are expensive too.

The other day my wife and I stopped into a town house that had an open house. Pretty standard town house, small, no land, 3br, etc. listed at like $440k and the property tax is over 3% in that town.

NJ is fucking ridiculous. A lot of people are moving out now because they cannot afford to live here or retire here
