My new appraisal came in at $488,000 and my taxes are going up $533.00 per year which puts me in the mid $11,000's per year. I can't understand how my house is worth $50,000 more in this down market than in the good time's of 2005? I didnt make any improvements. Is it worth an appeal?

I know if I was viewing a house during the winter, I'd like to find things that make the home seem cozy while it's cold out and I would love to find an outdoor fire pit on the deck.

This is NOT a typo, $978 per YEAR. If SD can survive with lower property taxes and less people, NJ should be able to lower the property taxes within reason and there are many more people paying them, so there should be plenty to support the state. Problem is, so many people living in apartments, etc out here and homeowner's support them in tax structures. Maybe they need to put a higher tax on apartment building owners, etc. Or many even drop all the property taxes to a level that is manageable and increase the overall state tax by 1% that everyone will pay, OR better yet, decrease the spending in NJ. Some of the things they spend money on are ridiculous and unnecessary. There are a lot of us paying more each month in property taxes than our mortgage payments even are. No wonder so many people are losing their homes and moving OUT of NJ. If my son wasn't here, I wouldn't be either. Not that this letter makes any difference, but the people are so used to just going through their days methodically that they don't stop to see how they are getting screwed. LOL And then there are some that really care and see what's happening, but NO ONE will listen to them. How frustrating this is. OH well, thank you for your time.

I moved from South Dakota so you can imagine my shock at the high property taxes in this state. They are ludicrous. With the interest rates so low right now, I decided to refinance into a lower rate and therefore an appraisal was done. I gave the bank the estimated value based on the tax assessment form I received in the mail. However when the appraisal was done, it came in much lower. I expected this due to the economy, but if the home value dropped, then I feel the taxes should also drop???? How can they keep charging everyone the same high taxes on their homes if the value is not there? Anyway, I have an appraisal that shows the value almost $25,000 less. How do I get my property taxes lowered with the new appraised value? And will it be worth it? My property address is 3839 Birch Street, Williamstown, NJ 08094. Thank you so much for your help, Have a nice day, Rachel Baker Good Morning,

I have a question. I've heard that closing a credit card could also be bad for your credit, because it has something to do with completely losing the credit limit you had on the card which looks good on the credit report. Something like that. Do I have that right? Oooh, I love these tips. I have a question.
