If you think the county appraisal districts aren't getting the sales data from the MLS in Texas I have a nice bridge I'd like to sell you.

The whole non-disclosure thing is pretty silly, because as stated the counties still get the data. That leads states to pass laws like what you're describing, which is even dumber. Heaven forbid we get accurate tax assessment data by utilizing the actual sales prices. I'm sure they think they're protecting the consumer from oppressive taxes, but they should just lower the taxes then rather than obscuring the assessment data.

Don't you have a water bill? Don't you pay to keep your car registered and for gas? Not sure why home values should be connected to water and roads when we have direct usage methods to pay for those.
Police maybe, but if your home doubles in value, does it get twice as much policing? (or does the cost to police it double?)

I'd be more open to it if it was done in a more equitable manner. No kids? Then you don't have to pay to send someone's crotch zombie to get shitty grades at the local indoctrination center. 50% tax bill cut right there. Police and FD with new BMW/Porsche in employee parking lot? Property tax is too high.
Better yet? Tax cap. $3k a year for anything. Retired folk making less than x amount a year pay nothing.

I think rich people with no kids should get taxed double for not doing their part in creating the next generation.
Right, because what we need more of is trust fund babies raised by nannies. I'm fine with disinterested people not reproducing. Leave it to those who care.

Attorney emailed me that he received our buyer's "clear to close" for the house we are selling. Good way to head into the weekend.

Grande considering the house we are selling.
And no, they are putting 20% down and eating a ginormous mortgage.

Just got back from a conference where economists said everything was fine and there more money sitting on the sidelines than ever in the history of ‘merica.
Shocked they didn’t pay cash, but also happy they didn’t.

I find economists to be pretty retarded when it comes to interpreting the data they spend their entire lives studying.

Talked to the GC building my house. He asked if I was cash or finance. I said cash and he asked if I two weeks worked for me? I said yep. He said as long as nothing goes south with the CO inspection he will tell the office the house will be ready in two weeks.
