When I owned a house in Corpus Christi it was north of 2.5% with MUD and ISD taxes and I didn't live in a fancy part of town.

You can contact tax foundation for more detailed breakdown than what they provided in that article, but you're right, Texas is terrible nobody else move here (especially those senior to me) !

I just looked at my recent total property tax bill and it's effectively 1% when you include everything.

The new(ish) laws and homestead increases helped knock them back down in recent years.

it’s rather impossible to make a comparison from california to other states in terms of property tax because of the distortion caused by prop 13. you have $5m homes with property taxes lower than $300k starter homes.
Plenty of other states have the same law as prop 13 they just don’t have real estate equity growth like California.

Yea the CA number should have an asterisk because a relative newcomer to the state who came in with enough money to buy a nice SoCal house is likely paying double the number they are showing.

That's true in a lot of states, not just CA.

i tried to find the methodology but couldn’t. there’s no link to actual data from the tax policy center they claim it’s based on. if they’re just taking home price * tax rate the numbers make zero sense.

Move from VA to NJ.


Income tax, effective rate lower (not by much, but 5.6% vs 5.85%)
What year was this? As New Jersey is not below 6% unless your IGA'd <$75,000.

Its nice when some states and municipalities don't raises taxes unabated as they do in the Northeast......but don't get to comfortable in Florida or Tennessee.........we humans we recreate what we flee......its in our nature no matter how irrational. (See don't make here there)

This year. 6.37 is the top marginal rate I pay, with less on the first $150k.

Effective tax rate is under 6.

Don't confused top marginal with Effective.

Married, no kids. Own house. Some disabled veteran exemptions.

Just did my full incom, no writeoffs. Off the NJ.gov form, works to 5.5%

Off form NJ-1040
Table B Married Couple
For line 41 taxable income 150-500k,
Tax owed is (Income * .0637 ) - 4042.5

Worst case, my whole W2 is taxable (it's not, I have deductions)
$477,600 * .0637 = $30,423.12
$30,423.12 - $4042.5 = $26,380.62

$26,380.62 ÷ $477,600 = 5.52%

Now for VA. Per the books, the forst $18k is tax free but they've been trying to impute disability as income, I'm currently fighting them on two years of this.

Tax = AGI -$18,000 * 5.85%
($477,600-$18,000)*.0585 = $26,886.60
that's 5.63% effective tax rate.
