My parents, who bought their house in the early 70's before the oil shocks, pay under $500 a year in property taxes. Their neighbor, who bought his house in 2014, pays just shy of $5000 according to online tools. Not sure what that adds to the conversation, but those numbers bring the whole debate into focus for me. Once you get lucky enough to get into a good house out there, you stay put else your taxes go way up.
