Yeah, but you are still paying almost nuthin' per acre!john_bud said:Wooded property when purchased in 1994 was $46 per 40 acres. Last year $650. That's 1413% increase in 12 years. "Somewhat" higher than the rate of inflation. If you have higher tax increases than that ....

How much would property taxes be in that *vacation paradise* that you rich Northern Connecticut folks call home???LarryRB said:40 acres in my town will cost you 1,250 or between a million and mill two fifty,. 88 grand per acre, some is still available for high 70's if you look hard enough.
