Here’s a story you’ll love, Drifter. I bought my first house in the Knoxville, TN area. Great school district. Modest house, about 1500 sq.ft. on almost 2 acres in a nice neighborhood.

My total yearly property tax bill…$210. Yes, that’s per year, not a typo. Oh yeah, and no state income tax there.

Our little 1600 sq.ft. house in the town of Lockport on maybe .2 acre - over $4300. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
