Are the homes taxed that high as well, or just land?

Brad when was the last time they did an assessment. When they do an assessment go to the meeting and fight the assessment. I don't remember exactly the rules but it has to be close to fair market value. You are being way over assessed on your land. They have to show you comparables that are selling in the area for that outrageous price.

My house was assessed at $235,000 and I paid about $4,000 per year. That is for a city lot.

Depends on where you are at(what municipality), but yes, mostly as bad or worse. It costs real money to live in this fucking state, non of this petty cash shit!

Its up to you to get comparables and show them to state your case.

The problem is Tom if they lower everyone's assessed value then they will just have to raise the mill rate a lot to pay for stuff. Its not like I'm paying a disproportional amount when compared to my neighbors. The money has to come from somewhere.
So to me it doesn't matter how much they assess me as longs as its in line with what everyone is being assessed at. And it is. Know what I mean?

Where the hell does all that tax money go? See the line on your tax bill for a "gravel tax", all the roads in WI are paved now and half of them shouldn't be. Got to repair that frost heaving every spring and that money has to come from somewhere? Brad I guarantee that it isn't that way in a lot of school districts in Wisconsin any more. They pay for insurance and half of their pension. Raises are just about non-existence.

Yes things are getting a little bit more in line with the general workforce. I'm not an expert on what teaches are paid but its still a pretty good gig I believe
So why aren't my taxes going down?

A teacher coming out of college starts out at 32,000 a year. I don't call that a good gig.

Give them regular health insurance they have to pay a decent portion for. Basically get in line with the rest of the work force paying them 50,000 a year to start doesn't seem out of line. It's not the pay that is costing so much its the benefits.

Right now their raises are less than 1%. The only way they are advancing is by skipping around to different school districts.

It's no fucking cakewalk dealing with someone else's brats all day and they have all but taken away any repercussion for the kids if they want to be assholes. My cousin has a teaching degree because he felt it was his life's calling, wasn't in it for the money or bennies, now he sells forklifts because the total $$$ package is better.

That all could be true Tom. But answer my question above. Isn't it the benefits that are the problem and not the pay? From what I've seen that is the problem.

The job would suck. No doubt about it.
So if we aren't paying squat for teachers then where is all the money going?
