Property taxes are a bit of a sore point out here, but not because the tax rate has increased. The rate of increase is capped, and lots of politicians run on not raising the tax rate at all, let alone up to the cap. It barely matters, when property values are rising so fast that the valuation is always lagging behind, then actual property taxes keep on rising even if the tax rate stays flat, or even declines. Selling and moving is one thing I'm considering, as well, but I'm not sure that it makes sense, yet. Property prices are so high all around me that it might gain me nothing...unless I go to where the internet barely works, which would be highly problematic.
