1326483 2013-02-04 05:34:00 City Council taxes: NZ vs. California

I did a comparison of City Council rates versus California's property taxes.

I live near Johnsonville Wellington in joint ownership, "Unit Title", not freehold.

I pay 1.9%.

California is usually around 1.1%.

Legally in California, it can be no more than 2%, thanks to a citizen proposition the people passed (not the politicians)

en.wikipedia.org (http:)

There is some critiques of proposition 13, but perhaps we could draft something even better.

1326484 2013-02-04 05:53:00 We need some citizen propositions here in NZ to stop the local body politicians from spending up large on unnecessary expenditure. Like how many times do you need to reseal a road with crappy chip or repaint the road markings with cheap paint or put sped humps on every road that could be considered a short cut etc etc... A lot of the work I see bing done around Auckland seems just an excuse to keep the local contractors in jobs. paulw (1826)
