Eh, they do on property...
Really not as bad as the report. My house here in NoVa, the taxes are more than the house I had in Houston, Tx.
plus no personal property taxes on cars. Here in NoVa they ding you twice a year to pay on your vehicles. So they get you on sales taxes for the state and then the county gets you twice a year, every year, for the value of the cars that you have. suxs big time....
