Taxes like that are exceedingly rare and minimal where they exist. Property taxes on office furniture?

The city of New Haven charged property tax on everything worth more than (IIRC) $5k when we lived there. It’s a large part of why they have few businesses despite a major university since there’s a strong incentive to move to a neighboring city.

That’s crazy, but very few self-employed software devs have more than $5k of office furniture.

What about Mac Pros or servers? It’s not crushing but it came as a surprise to a few people I’d met.

Weirdly enough, I'm 95% sure that's a thing in New Orleans.

Two of my coworkers are based there and it's come up in the past...iirc when they were purchasing monitors for the office.
