Brad Caldwell+FollowProperty tax shock hits Grand CrossingProperty tax bills in Chicago’s Grand Crossing neighborhood have more than doubled for some homeowners, leaving many scrambling to come up with thousands of extra dollars just before the holidays.

With many families living paycheck-to-paycheck, this sudden spike is forcing tough choices and draining savings. Folks are calling for real change, like capping yearly increases. How are you handling these rising costs, and what solutions do you want to see? #RealEstate #Chicago #PropertyTax00Share
David Mcgrath+FollowChicago’s Black homeowners hit with tax hikesProperty taxes in Chicago’s Black neighborhoods have soared—some bills doubled or even tripled—while downtown commercial properties are paying less. Residents in places like West Garfield Park and North Lawndale are feeling the squeeze, with many worried about losing homes they’ve worked for generations to keep. Meanwhile, the same communities are pouring millions into the state lottery and casinos, but see little benefit in return. It’s a double hit: rising costs at home, and money flowing out through gambling. Shouldn’t revenue from these sources be reinvested in the neighborhoods that need it most? What changes would you want to see? #News #Chicago #PropertyTax00Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowDenver property taxes set to climb in 2025Denver homeowners are facing a bigger school tax bill next year—even though Denver Public Schools actually lowered its tax rate. The catch? Skyrocketing home values and a surge in tax refunds (abatements) mean the district has to collect more from everyone else to make up the difference. For many, that’s an extra $192 or more, depending on your neighborhood’s reassessment. With decades of voter-approved bonds and rising costs for aging schools, DPS is locked into most of its tax rate. How do you feel about paying more for schools as property values soar? Let’s talk about what this means for our community. #RealEstate #Denver #PropertyTax10Share

Shelly Powell+FollowRichmond’s ‘mansion tax’ hits regular homesIn Richmond, what’s being called a ‘mansion tax’ is actually landing on many ordinary family homes—think 1930s houses, not palatial estates. With even modest detached homes topping £2m, locals are feeling the pinch from the new council tax surcharge set for 2028. Some residents worry it’s just another burden for buyers and sellers, especially older homeowners who’ve watched their property values soar over decades. Others say it could push more people to downsize or move out of London. Do you think this tax is fair, or does it miss the mark for places like Richmond? #RealEstate #Richmond #PropertyTax00Share
