Wisconsin Property taxes

I've thought for several years we should adopt, "Deep in the heart of TAXES", as a new state motto.

6000 in property taxes. My God. That's just obscene.

Serfdom to the state. It's as simple as that. You must pay the Lord of the estate his tribute or they come take your home.

Of all taxes I think property taxes are the most vile and the ones that are wholly incompatible with Liberty and free Republic. They're essentially contrary to our ideals as a nation. You're essentially paying rent to the state to live on property you "own". Just a hideously vile concept. One of the most vile disgusting concepts to ever spring from the evil twisted mind of the bureaucrat. Simple enslavement to serfdom. It shouldn't be allowed in a free nation. Ever. It's a black blemish on us that we allow such an abomination to exist.

Mine are bad enough. 1300 or so on 164 acres. Whether it's a dollar or 10,000 it's equally as wrong. I long for the day that they're abolished.

This must be the new Obama plan!

Escalating Property taxes and land prices played a role in our decision to leave WI. The property taxes on our new farm in Kansas are less than WI even with more acres and buildings of higher value.
I will say, though, the the property taxes on Missouri farms were even more affordable than Kansas.
If you own farmland in WI, you may want to verify that you are benefiting from "Use-Value" assessment. In layman's terms it means that if you have a hayfield next to a new shopping mall on the edge of urban sprawl, you will still only be taxed on what the land is used for - a hayfield. But you have to actually use it as a hayfield.
If you own timber land, I believe the term is "Forest Crop" which is a longer term enrollment which will greatly reduce your annual property taxes.

I only make suggestions of programs one may explore.
*Please consult with local authorities at your county courthouse and educate yourself in ALL details of these programs before acting.*
