    About $6.5k property tax (~2.25%) - Not allowed to raise assessment by more than 10% per year (and they get close to raising it that much each year last couple of years)
    8.25% Sales Tax
    0% Income Tax

    Burro,

    I apologize for my cheap shot...I admit, I could NOT get my head around the idea that someone could possibly have a property tax bill of only $127 That's just not within my scope of experience. However, if you say it's true, then it must be true !

    Besides...JP vouched for you !

    Again....sorry about that !

    it's ok. sometimes i don't pay the taxes anyways. you can go 18 months before they start sending the tax lien sale letters with the red urgent stamp on them.

    it does disturb me a little that jp knows so much about my property taxes though. i hope she don't have any evidence on the clothes part. google earth isn't that accurate is it?

    Scout,

    Too funny !!!

    WOW, your property tax rate is low, too...like Burro's ! ...but you do have one of the higher sales tax rates...

    For those who are retired, or thinking of retiring, that's an interesting nugget in your post...although the State has an income tax, it DOESN'T tax Fed retirement or SS ? Do they tax withdrawals from the TSP or IRA's as "income" ?

    Dang...maybe I should've bought a place a little farther north or west, in Brewton or Foley !

    ...and Atarrin ? You Texas people ARE taking the award for the highest property tax rate !

    I dunno...she "liked" your post, so I assumed that means she vouched for you, or at least your post !

    Fortunately, Google Earth only has so much resolution, so we won't be subjected to seeing you in "clothing optional" mode !

    PA State Income Tax 3.07%
    Sales Tax 6%, excluding food, clothing and basic necessities
    Philadelphia City Wage Tax - 4% for Non residents, higher for residents
    Wallingford, PA property/school/real estate taxes-paid $8200 last year, but excellent public schools
    PA does not tax federal retirement pensions, SS and TSP distributions.(?) not sure on the latter.

    Maricar19,

    Thanks for participating in the discussion !!!

    What the heck is the Philly Wage Tax ? Another "ouch" !!!

    Interesting to know PA also does not tax Fed retirement, SS, or TSP distributions in their State income taxes !

    From what I'm hearing here, I guess I've been naive ! I'm beginning to think this entire discussion of retirement and taxes needs another look, although I've already "made my bed" !!!

    Maybe it'll help others who are contemplating retirement, and moving...

    Do they tax withdrawals from the TSP or IRA's as "income" ?

    Yes unfortunately those are taxed. But remember the initial contributions were deductible or "tax deferred" when made. One other benefit is that federal income taxes are deductible on the state returns. With a little tax planning you could probably avoid most AL state tax when withdrawals are taken out.

    Since florida has no income tax, the state get its money via property taxes and sales tax. I paid $3,800 in property taxes last year for a 4 bedroom, 2 car garage, 2,200 sq foot home.
    The state has a 6% sales tax on everything except un-prepared food and medicines and some counties and cities piggy back on top of that to make it up to 8%. In my county the combined state and local sales tax is 7%
