I should probably specify and say Mackinaw/Tremont taxes when I title this post. I get updates all the time from Zillow… I would be best served to delete this ap… I waste time looking at houses, knowing I’m not moving anywhere for five years at least.
Anyway… I am seeing a trend and it’s scaring the hell out of me. Look at the tax increases on these properties… 2015 is a slight bump. 2016 is a huge bump. What’s going to happen when the numbers show up from 2017? Big bucks! This is happening on improved properties and vacant lots.
How can we sustain these increases? Is everyone else getting an extra couple grand pay increase?
I said it was a mistake to vote for more loans for the DeeMack school… No matter how you reorganize the debt… High taxes like these will drive people out. This is not even taking big employers into consideration. What if Cat or State Farm moves a 1000 jobs? Will that football field and track be enough to keep people happy with the debt load?
We shall see what happens. But I can say this… At this rate of increase, I may balk on the first statement about living here. We might not make five years!
Btw… Ours went up 22% last year.
