My home has a higher taxable value so I would pay something like $1,000 if it was in unincorporated Lake County.

I’ve been in my house seven years now and it’s nice to know the $7,000 is in my pocket and not the county’s coffers.
I don't mind paying taxes, because my taxes are paying for services that we wouldn't get, if we didn't pay taxes. Our roads, sewers, public water system, schools, fire and emergency services, street lights, police department - none of this is free. Someone has to pay for it. And before anyone complains about us not having kids in the schools - those schools are educating the generation that will become our future lawyers, elected officials, librarians, police officers, corporate CEOs, non-profit board members, doctors, all the people who we HOPE will have a decent education.
