So you are a proud homeowner, and as such should be punished. Punished with high property taxes and maintenance costs. So what do your property taxes pay for anyhow? Well, some of it goes to pay for public schooling, which my wife the school teacher accredits for the lack of support for increased funding, and evidently it pays for the roads. In reality it pays for all the roads but the one in front of our house. That one is extra.
How much does the road in front of your house cost? It seems you pay only over to the centerline so the way I figure, road costs about $125 a foot, or in our case over on E. Main St. about $5000. Next time you are looking at a house, be sure to pay attention to the road and sidewalks in front, its condition and the potential for a special assessment for its repair.
