After a major renovation to their longtime Florida home, Walter and Debbie Priebe were hit with a shocking $91,000 property tax bill.

    They basically rebuilt their home and are sad it’s appraised at market value.

    That’s at least what I got from it.

      Yeah, not a lot of sympathy from me.

      4.4 mil, wow.

        If it’s that big of a problem for their life, why not just sell the house and be multi-millionaires? It’s a non-story. Maybe they should’ve taken that into consideration.

          So, the house is now valued at 6x the original value? If they sold it at only 4-5x it would still be a huge win.

            Their taxes were grandfathered in because they bought the property at a much lower value, the house was already worth a lot more than they paid for it.

              Completely true, but not a loss.

              They wanted a new, two-story house, but with a tax loophole to save money.

              Maybe it is different for me because I moved every couple years growing up. I have lived in 15 places in my life, and the most recent is a record of over a decade.
