Prices in rural Georgia keep going up. My property tax has increased 40% in the last two years.

Pray for me people!

Which is one reason I decided to get out of Houston when I retired. Property taxes are skyrocketing. I still have the house there. It is up for sale. I'll be glad to unload it because of the taxes. It was worth 193,000 in last years apprisal, but prices have come down somewhat.

My E. Texas pineywood home though it is on 20 acres and is about the same size is much less in taxes. Luuuuv it out here. It is so private that I told the wife that we could start a nudist colony. She gave me one of those perplexed looks without saying a word.
