How many who live here now have ever lived in an unincorporated, county only serviced area?
How many who moved here paid the county property taxes we pay here?
IF you are expecting any of the service you received living in an incorporated (esp. an incorporated city area), with higher property taxes...well, I would say that you may have moved here unprepared for living in an unincorporated area with a low tax rate...
(we moved from an area that was an unincorporated county area with ten times the tax rate and far less county services, we paid for most everything - call the police or fire dept - those were city services, so we paid for the response - heck, we even had toll roads!)
one thing we did receive from that high tax rate were exceptional schools (we have no kids!) but our taxes were still 4 times the rate here if you took off the school tax....so we expected far less services & are still amazed at the services (FREE!) that this county does supply, for the tax rate we pay....
