can't be worse than jersey, can it ? Not sure about Jersey or CA but here in Orlando, the tax is roughly 18k for every million of assessed value. We also have a home in TN and the tax rate there is based on 25% of the assessed value...approx. 7k for every million of assessed value (not the actual value). | | |

So true! with the property tax on many of the higher end homes being well in the 6 figure range it puts a slight damper on the positives our state has to offer. Hi Jill, you and dpoly got me nervous about those tax rates. They are expensive in Miami but with $160M cash after winning Powerball (yeah right), I think I'll be okay. I found a house in Miami for sale for $799K and the taxes in 2011 were $11,682. That's doable. The house is large enough for me and my family at 5bd/4ba, 4100 sq ft, built in 2005, on a golf course community. Here it is: Do you like it?

Not bad, looks very nice! The taxes were most likely based on a much lower valuation but it is within reason for that home. I like the paved driveway but it seems that it only has a 2-car garage? Where would you park all your toys? | | |

I thought the taxes were bad here in Florida but your state takes the cake  I guess having the honor of being one of the highest taxed states is a reason so many have relocated elsewhere. | | |

Yes, thats why many have bailed. The problem is funding education, 69% of those taxes go to the school district. Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds -- Charles Mackay LL.D. | | |

Well ten bucks of this pot is mine. I played my usual set of numbers, two from last nights fortune cookies and two quick picks. The gas station down the street where I bought my tickets tonight had somebody hit a million dollar winner earlier that day on a $20 instant lottery ticket. (I don't play instant lottery although I have bought a few White Sox scratch tickets as that's my favorite team so their sucker promotion using MLB worked it's charm on me.)
I hope one of us wins tonight, here's to a different life come Thursday......cheers!

Where would you park all your toys? Jill, Hopefully, I won't need more than 2 cars. One for me and my girlie!  I would like to have my own custom golf cart too. So I might need a 2 1/2 car garage.  I'll buy this Cadillac Custom Golf Cart for the half garage:
I see you play golf. Do you have your own cart? | | |

Well, the hype of that is over. It was won in Iowa. | | |

Congrats to Iowa, I think it's been a while for them (the site I check for past jackpot wins by state doesn't do PB, so not sure on that). Maybe this rollover will be my time, people will be looking at this win and some may even bring up the last time Iowa made news for a lottery win. | | |
