Hi everyone,
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer searching the forum:
I have accidentally found myself being a landlord to a property in a different state, by virtue of moving and not being able to sell the first house. I am being told by the county where the first house is located that my property tax rate is now 1.5x higher due to the fact that it is no longer my primary/legal residence.
I have asked several people in my new location (who own rental property locally) about this, and no one has heard of an increased rate in a case like mine. Is this just done county by county? Is it common?
Thanks in advance!
