re: Buying a house in proposed St. George

If SG forms a new city, taxes will likely not go up, and may even go down.

If SG forms a new school system taxes will likely go up to build new schools.

If SG becomes a city the city of BR will likely raise taxes.

If SG forms a school district, the EBR system will likely raise taxes.

If nothing changes there is a better chance that city taxes go up than parish wide taxes because city folk tend to vote new taxes on themselves more so than the rest of the parish does. See the CATS tax as evidence of this as well as taxes in the DDD.

But nobody can look you in the eye and tell you with any certainty that taxes won't go up no matter what. If they do they are lying to you8.
