mastershakeman posted:rising house prices don't increase property taxes on the whole, just shifts the burden around to who has more expensive houses. this is misunderstood more than marginal income tax brackets This is the truth right here. City hall or the county seat don’t go out and set a tax rate, each property in the taxing jurisdiction is allocated a pro rata share of the jurisdiction’s spending based on that property’s share of the total assessed value of property in that jurisidction. Modified by if the property is commercial/residential/agricultural, and California has to be weird about it, but you get the idea.

I can tell you that rising home prices have certainly increased the overall property tax revenues in the city/county where I live, despite a state law mandate that property tax revaluations that occur every eight years are revenue-neutral. The easy work around for this is to wait for the property tax revaluation to come around and then to propose a local budget conveniently requiring a millage rate increase. So it is indeed revenue-neutral for about a month. BEHOLD: MY CAPE fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Mar 16, 2018 |

To pretend like the city budget and the property tax pro rata allocations are just completely independent and that no city government official eagerly eyes rising home values as a source of new revenue and new spending is willfully oblivious in my opinion.

If the net assessed value of property in the municipality goes up, that does not necessarily mean any individual property's tax liability goes up. But if the housing valuations go up across the board, then every property's tax liability will almost certainly increase, because municipal service costs will have to increase to meet the increased usage from more people in the municipality. (How do I know there are more people? The loving housing valuations went up.) Those at the margin of affording their property taxes will certainly get pushed out. There's all kinds of racially disparate impacts from this, and a fancy term for how it is a problem, and everything.

To pretend like the city budget and the property tax pro rata allocations are just completely independent and that no city government official eagerly eyes rising home values as a source of new revenue and new spending is willfully oblivious in my opinion. Unless there is some statutory cap on mill rates that the municipality is running into, those factors are more driven by general economic trends, rather than the specific values of the properties. The city spending more is why the taxes are going up, not because the assessed value went up. A pool of properties that sees their assessed values doubled without any change in municipal spending will not see a change in taxes unless other moving parts come into play. I would attribute the observed trend that governments spend more in good times when values are typically up and less in bad times when values are typically down.

Dwight Eisenhower posted:(How do I know there are more people? The loving housing valuations went up.) I don't disagree with this post overall, but would note that there are places where property values go up due to outside speculation rather than an actual influx of people. That said, if a municipality isn't milking those speculators for all they've got, then they're not doing their job right.

Another refinancing application denied. We've done everything; moved to China to avoid high taxes and dedicate more than 50% of our limited teacher salary to my partner's student loans of $80k. Not seeing the light. Needing encouragement. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/84xsob/another_refinancing_application_denied_weve_done/ quote:"Hello, you have a new message from [Lender Name] regarding your student loan application. Please login to see your new message." The insufferable posing style can probably be chalked up to "non-certified english teacher". But I have no idea what this guy is expecting for "encouragement." He married a boat anchor. Because he was isolated in a foreign country and it was the first familiar thing he found. Great basis for a relationship.

Dwight Eisenhower posted:(How do I know there are more people? The loving housing valuations went up.) I’m not sure it works that way always. It means more people (or wealthier people) want to live there, maybe. When there’s a big IPO event in the valley, housing prices tend to rise, but not because there’s more housing stock to accommodate new people. There’s just more money being thrown at housing.

I understand the mindset that would lead to “move to a foreign country where you don’t speak the language and teach English there without credentials”, but I really don’t understand “move to a foreign country to teach English without credentials but also don’t socialize with the natives and also live somewhere with only a handful of other foreigners.” Do the foreigners who live in China to teach English just not speak/pick up Chinese, or what?
