It's always talked about in the media as if everyone cares, but I don't think I've ever heard a normal person complain.

Property taxes bug me a lot. The tax has gone up over 10% each of the past 3 years. It's adding a lot to my mortgage.

Texas sucks. Everyone talks about how much it has a low cost of living and minimal taxes because there is not a state income tax, then the homeowners insurance rates go up or get cancelled and you can count on property taxes going up 10% annually. We bought our house in 2016 and the amount has gone up 10% every year since, not including the other bond issues which increase the tax rate on top of the existing rate.
