I bet it is, I'll have to find that time zone thread...Maybe it’s different between renters and owners though…
Who cares who gets "credit" for paying them, the landlord pays them directly, the tenant indirectly (unless we're talking a commercial NNN lease).You assume escrow exists within rental agreements thereby awarding a tenant the credit for paying taxes.
It's very clear who was indoctrinated rather than educated in this thread.
Property taxes were no surprise to me, even on our current mortgage free property where I pay them direct. Our assessed value is still well below what we paid for the property (I fully expect it to ramp up to that amount over the next few years).
It is mind boggling to think how many folks are upset with Indiana property taxes (please, look at our surrounding states), we have it made here.
If you can't afford them, you likely need to take a look at your budget... but that's the typical American way....keeping up with the Jones and being up to your eyeballs in debt!
Hell, my 74 year old mother (who still has a mortgage) understands property taxes (and doesn't complain about them).... but she did like me and moved to a rural area and saw her property taxes cut by 2/3s...
