I've always had a problem with this whole property tax thing.

The idea of an older couple on a fixed income being forced out of the family home by property taxes doesn't sit well with me.

At the same time, how can we have two identical houses sitting side by side, paying grossly different property taxes? Certainly both homes bring an equal burden on their state/county/city for the various services they require.

Maybe the taxes could be adjusted back and later be collected from the estate? That way, the taxes from the huge gain in property value could be paid by those that actually realize that gain, rather than by an older homeowner getting penalized for gains they'll never realize.
