Seems it is added onto the property taxes for schools or something. Anyway I was really surprise at what his taxes were.

Ron - yeah, I didn't want to go into the property taxes thing - because honestly I don't understand it fully myself. Each county sets it's own millage rate and somehow that generates a tax bill based on some sort of perverse valuation system. The millage rate varies considerably from county to county - which is how the state got into court trouble years ago over un-equal school spending across the state.
