I'm a 76 year old senior/widow in Topeka and have downgraded to a duplex with almost no yard.....
Yet, my property taxes are almost $5000. They are going to 'spend' us into not being able to afford to live. What is going on? Is there no end to the run-away spending?
Your story is very similar to many that I have heard. My own mother’s property tax has doubled in the last 5 years, mostly due to property evaluations. The county leaders must be held accountable for their spending.
Because of STROKE, had to get new shower items, etc. Bought & put in a new filter system. After a short time, no water came out. Plumber removed filter, abd found Sodium filled filter. Best on market. Plumber told me, the city puts in 12%, xs the 10% required. So kept filter off. Wasted money there, so the city can continue to add what they desired to my water!! Just Crazy!!

Live in Atchison Ks. They increase the Value of our homes, thus taxes increase. Without house improvement , the value goes up, so taxes increase!!
Bottom line is the county spending. Those county leaders must be held accountable for their budgets.
