So with that taken into affect, it is considerably cheaper in Taxes. Now, I am sure there are still some very well to do areas in Michigan which are probably not going to be any less than any other part of the country in taxes but for me that is not the case and it does come out less. We are paying about $6000/yr on $250.000 assessed value. Enough to make me want to run far away..lol..but it is what it is.

My house in Harper Woods had an SEV of 57,000. I paid $3000 in taxes. In Tampa, a house of 200,000 would pay $3000 in taxes. I went to realtor.com and typed in houses in Tampa from 200,000 to 300,000 and about 80% of them paid less in taxes than I did, and I was only able to sell my house for 50,000 when according to the county I should be able to sell it for 114,000.

Real estate taxes on 2200 sf. in south-central PA, assessed value @190K=$6,000. PA may be good for some things; safe, low crime, cost of living, no traffic, accessibility to major metro areas, beautiful state, 4 decent seasons of weather, but taxes are getting close to what we paid in NJ!

If my house was assessed for 190,000 in Harper Woods, I would be paying $10,000 in taxes.

Our house on 10 acres in Ocqueoc is assessed at $31,500 for taxes. We're paying $1,200/yr in taxes as non-residents. That's just mind blowing to us.
