Terry Lao Property taxes in Cleveland, Ohio.....why so high?
20 March 2018 | 22 replies
Terry:One of the reasons that taxes are so high in relation to the value of the property is that the properties are worth significantly less than in other parts of the country.2% taxes on a $1mm property are 20k a year...Taxes on a $80k property at 2% would only be $1,600  a year.Another HUGE problem is that a LOT of these mid-western cities have BLOATED government structures....they are burning money on education, they have a LOT of retired workers with underfunded pensions, they have LOTS of current workers that are not very efficient.It is a huge problem that is going to get bigger/more attention in the near future.
