See Texas and Florida. Neither has state income taxes, so the property taxes you do pay by and large can be seen in more real time services and you don't feel like you're getting bent over like corrupt Louisiana. That's the distinction I believe he was trying to make.

I priced myself out of my home town. I would have to take a steep pay cut if I went back to NOLA for equivalent job.

I could never afford the home I sold in Boulder 23 years ago. Nor would I pay full price for the home I own now. I look forward to giving it all away soon, selling, and getting the F out. Besides friends and family one place is as good as another to me.

The average duration of homeownership is 16 years.
If a house sells that often, the Parish will get their money.
Also, have to get rid of the Homestead Exemption, the poors have to pay their fair share too. Everyone has to have skin in the game, no class warfare. With the poors final contributing to society millage will not have to keep going up. And when we vote down the millage the assessor doesn't have to back door the taxes. Grandma and Grandpaw should not have to continually pay for Mexican immigrants to go to school.

But who is going to pay for all of those brand new government buildings and govt vehicles? Cops can’t fight crime unless they’re in brand new tricked out Explorers and Tahoes.
Who is going to pay for every student to have a laptop and classroom to have a smart board? Kids can’t learn without those!
And every high school to have collegiate level athletic facilities?
And that road project to widen 5 miles of road that takes 10 years to complete!
You’re obviously not thinking this through.

First response. Well done sir.
While still a tax, it's potentially avoidable. Grow your own food, buy second hand, etc, etc.
The federal income tax wasn't instituted until 1913. We ran the country successfully from 1781-1913 without it. We had roads and all kinds of stuff.

Property taxes should never be high enough to price someone out of a home they owe.

Not only that. On everything else you purchase you pay tax at the time of sale and never pay it again.

Your post is reminding me of the 800-lb gorilla in the room with the whole St. George and Baton Rouge thing. Once this thing is finalized fully, the city of BR is like a Detroit powder keg that is waiting to explode with the ratio of people sucking the system dry versus actually paying their fair share. Actuarial death spiral.

Should be a cut off of property taxes after so many years. Elderly people do not cost local government as much as younger people.
No schooling to pay for.
Limited use of roadways.
They don't break the law as often.
They have paid their share and should be exempt.
Signed, Old Codger

Fair Tax book by Linder and Boortz address this and many other tax disadvantages.
Of course it will never pass because, like a previous poster said, we are a slave to the state and they want control us and to take our wealth.

I am the one gentrifying.

Wait till the Dems tax your unrealized gains as your property value goes up. I know they said it was only for super rich but you all know what happens once they get their foot in the door.

OT Ballers can never be priced out of anything.

Because when they move to a new house, they will be getting taxed on the new house cost and it will keep going up!
Plus flood ins, prop ins, and maybe condo fees.

they can just transfer the title to their elderly parents name to shield from rising property taxes, ammiright?
I've been locked in for several years now after I retired and went to City Hall to freeze my property tax on my home.
So far, they've kept it at the rate it was at when I did retire and hasn't gone up while younger homeowners around me have seen their taxes rise almost yearly.
My current tax rate is based on what I paid the year I retired and filed for the tax freeze.
