Our property taxes are still actually pretty low -- around 1%. My sister just bought a house in Ohio for 20% what our Bay Area house host, but their taxes are more than half as much as ours. In fact, their taxes are half their mortgage while ours are practically negligible.

I mean schools need funded somehow.. many states fund them almost all through property taxes.
A lot of places I have lived capped property tax at 2% of market value. In Ohio are their taxes significantly higher than 2% of property value? I wonder if they have tax missing somewhere else, like no local income tax or something... Ohio doesn't strike me as a high tax zone.
