RW> property was worth $100,000 (I wish) I'd pay $193 a year in
RW> property tax.  Our car tags are $23 a year.  Oh yeah, there's no
RW> state income tax either but our sales tax is 8.5%.
WHEW!
I'm not sure what the tax is around here but I know it is a bit higher 
(per) than that. Judy's car tags are around $250, my bike 
registration is around $65... California State Tax runs around $300 a 
year for me. I think most people in Los Angeles pay around $1,400 for 
their property tax, but I'm not sure. The city also tacks-on 
"services" and other stuff. The landowners haven't any rights except 
to vote regarding local and zoning issues and their property can be 
taken at the drop of a hat (not often, but happens) by an easement for 
just about anything.
You live in Oregon?
