Thinking of moving-Check this out

[js27]

Here is a link to property taxes in all states.
Scroll down and there is a box and click on the first line that says Property Tax where does your state rank ! I moved from PA that is ranked 14th highest to South Carolina that is ranked 44th. That is also another reason I moved here.

Just checked out the top 10 worst overall for taxes.  A quiz for you all,  Democrat or Republican ?  How many of the top 10 for each ?

I guessed right before I checked.

So much for tax free shopping!  They get you elsewhere!

Massachusetts= #9

[Rare_T_A]

Were # 30

[360 'CUDA]

#37
New Jersy is #1  (who would have guesed)

[Oldschool]

We are 37th.

You see who is 50th?  Louisiana.  Seems like with all the hurricane troubles, maybe they should raise taxes a little and raise money to rebuild the New Orleans area instead of letting it sit untouched while waiting on the feds to pick up the slack....   Just a thought....

Am I reading the right chart? http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/Advice/TheBestAndWorstStatesForTaxes.aspx?page=2#XXX

It was the second page of the original link, but the numbers I see are different than what you guys are saying.
SC = 30 for State and 38 for all, not 44th.
LA = 11 & 37th, respectively, not 50th.

I notice GA (my home state) is absolutely average at 25th for both.  I'm not sure what Pistol Gripper  would make of that, since it's about as Red as a state can get, but let's not go there again.

Hooray - Number 13 - Not a list that you want to be high on. Like being tops on the FBI's most wanted.

[Jacksboys]

We are 37th.

Same here, Georgia also.

We need to move over one state to Alabama.

A person can make what they want of these types of charts, which can be deceiving.  You need to consider that these tax rates are a percentage of income.  To be fair, you need to consider everything - Job opportunities, housing cost, real estate appreciation...

My home state of Michigan is 16th for state/local, and 19th overall.  About what I expected. 
"Red" Nebraska is 6th for state/local, and drops to 22nd when you include federal.  In a similar way, "Blue" Hawaii is 5th for state/local, but drops to 17th when you include federal.  Poor Massachusetts has state/local taxes that are 28th, but when you include federal taxes, they jump to 6th!

I think it is an over-simplification to think you can draw political conclusions from this.

Right there with ya in SC

My Brother moved from NY to Arizona because of the TAXES and then almost had a Stroke when he went to register his 2007 One Ton Quad Cab Ram and found it was gonna cost him over 2000 to register it when in NY it is around a 100 for 2 years .
 Just remember they need to get the money from SOMEWHERE so do your research
