Illinois highest property taxes in US. My son in Tampa but
he could be anywhere in the future so until he settles in
that would not be a target as such. Getting out of the cold
and just doing something in a different place. My house is
too big for me but the market around here is crazy. I can
sell but not really buy and downsize. For me to downsize I
have to jump ship to another state.

The whole nature of Central Illinois has change over the
past 40 years. It went from a conservative small corn palace
to a liberal awakening. The Dems control the entire state
and nothing can stop them that I can see. I am not saying
specifically about my politics but more about reality. I can
be quite liberal about some things and real conservative
about others.
To me Chicago has become the drain of the rest of the state.
At one time is was an Iconic city with many cool things. Now
it is a mess with crime and problems that keep the cool
things from happening. I would gladly take what goes on in
Indiana. We are taxed to the max to keep the corrupt in
there big sky places and power.

Just search your old address. The various realty sites list
nearly every parcel (currently for sale or not) with
assessment and taxes.
My small 1914 house, which was taxed $700 when I bought it
was $4500 when I sold ten years ago. Same house, just older.
It's now $8600.

between $6300 and up to $8400 a year. That is a huge chunk of change for

ride my Trike. The house value on Zillow is $598,000 and the
current taxes are $13,000 a year. That is nuts and
ridiculous because if you own the place is cost over $1000 a
month not counting any utilities or house insurance. Add
house insurance of about $2500 year you are looking a a
serious payment even if you own the house. Granted it is a
nice house better than most but not some wealthy castle. An
upper middle class home and not within driving distance of
any mountain view or ocean. The winters are cold and damp,
the summer is hot and humid, and the wind blows a lot. Your
subdivision sits on a flat piece of ground and you are
surrounded by nothing but Corn and Bean fields when you
drive out.

It's complex.
Agricultural land is taxed at a much lower rate. So someone
has to pay more.
And if you notice in the detail in your tax bill, the bulk
of the revenue goes to your local school system. Some are
ridiculously inept while yet shamelessly profligate while
others are less horrible.

Folks in Dane county spend a lot of time and money on expensive deer

When I was young (Rock County), men would drive a hundred
miles and more north to hunt deer in the fall. Now deer have
infested corn country. And venison tastes much better now...
