Curtis Richardson no it’s not. Home assessments are not based on true market value. Market value can help steer an assessment but their is a formula written into the code of how a house should be appraised. If you disagree with an assessment it can be appealed either with or without legal representation. We are also not talking about 10 of thousands of dollars. Her tax was 1200 a year. After penalty’s and interest it ballooned. Why should we feel sorry for these dead beats who refuse to pay taxes.

It's not like an "over assessment" means anything to a $3,200 house? How much less can they assess it? Also, what are the factors driving down the home pricess in the first place?

The demographics.

@Tim W I love how Republicans act like there isn't endless cycles of poverty and a failing education system in red states. 9 out of 10 of the poorest states are republican so lets not even do that.

You're such an idiot. If someone buys a house for $10k then they should pay their property taxes. It's not rocket science.

Todd Abbot: The example they found was just stupid, this Judy Kelley. How can someone who makes over $2,000 a month loose a $3,000 house to taxes, even if they are taxing at 5x what the house is worth, which they are not? Her taxes could not be that high. Even if they assessed her house to be worth $25,000, she would still be paying only $600 a year or $50 a month, as Wayne County taxes at 2.35%. That is a very high rate at bout 2.5x national rates, but still she likely spend more on her cell phone than that each month. She owed so much because she likely just did not pay it until they threatened to take her house and then she just paid the minimum because the house was not worth it. If she was paying $600 a year and was 3 years behind, with interest she likely owed over $2,000, but they likely said if she paid the $600 for this year they would be fine, but the interest on the rest kept growing and growing for years. She likely kept doing this and now owes $21,000 and the house is just not worth that much. What makes this even worse is she paid for the house up front. She had no house payment. I'm just guessing, but I doubt she had insurance on the house either. But that must the the case for most of these because your insurance and taxes are escrowed into a mortgage by law. I live in Michigan too. I also work at home do to health issues and make far less than $2,000 month, but I still make my $585 mortgage payment every month. If I owned the house my taxes and insurance would be about $180 a month and my house is worth FAR more than $3,000 dollars. I am guessing most of the foreclosures are people unemployed or seniors on fixed income that are loosing their homes, but for some reason they interviewed this lady. I'm guessing she will likely borrow $3000 from her retirement and go buy another $3000 home and start the same cycle over, but now she does not owe $21,000 in taxes. And obviously there are still plenty of homes out there for cheap as her house sold for less than she bought it for. Likely they assessed the value of the house at $15,000 and her taxes were only $350 a year. How could someone making over $2,000 a month not be able to pay $30 a month. Sorry this was a horrible report.

Do you vote for democrats?

Because it's better to have the property turn over to an owner that will start paying taxes. If they let you stay in your home without paying taxes then no one would ever pay taxes. It's really that simple. The new owner will pay the property taxes, pay income tax on the tax revenue, hire workers to maintain the properties etc.

She obviously wasn't able to 🤦🏽‍♂️

lol fr bro. a house like that is 200k in texas

Exactly! And if she didn't pay in a lump sum, she would have payments with property taxes going into an escrow account. They overtaxed and "misplaced" the paperwork. This is capitalism at its worst.

why use the credit card then

exactly. there should be a court challenge. she was not getting the services that justified such an assessment. It sure is a convenient way to move out people. hmmm...if the prop tax fell as it should have, many like the lady would still be in their homes.

i'll one up you, when capitalism meets a local government to conspire against the People, the People lose 99% of the time...the buyer is right. it is the government selling out its own people... :(

Are we supposed to expect a lot less out of her? Why?

But you are speaking from a position of privilege, as a black woman, nobody can expect her to pay $1000 in taxes /s

I think she failed to properly communicate with her accountant/tax advisor. Simple tax places like H and R block would have helped her plan. Sigh. I feel some folks aren't ready for the real world.

That's dangerously racist. I am not privileged at all, and for you to say that because she's a black woman she can't figure this out or get an escrow account is offensive. If she only owes $1000 a year, that is less than the lowest property tax in the country, which is in Alabama. She had zero excuse for not keeping up with property taxes. Why would she be exempt from them? We all save our money ad pay them, we all make sure we have an escrow account to put money in monthly so our taxes are paid. She can't do that? I mean, $1000 a year is like $80 a month. Surely she could figure out that paying this is far less than having to pay rent?

They didn't put "lead" in the water. They used the money set aside to maintain the infrastructure on creating pension plans for themselves. They created no-show jobs for political cronies and taxed and regulated businesses until they left. They didn't underfund the schools, they just started letting the criminals and thugs have priority over education. They were always corrupt as in Socialist Democrats. Those people, as sad as it may seem, voted for the life they got. How much tax money did Obama give his Muslim brothers again? $34 Billion. That could have fixed up 34 Democrat run cities as far as infrastructure goes. Responsible and productive people were punished over and over with taxes and regulations so they left. It was called "White Flight" and blamed on racism even though it was the racists that put those policies in effect. If you stuff ballot boxes just because the politicians are black then you deserve what you get. Detroit used to be the Industrial Center of the entire world and now look at it.

I think you have things turned around: Woman buys home in a distressed area, and: 1) The government is taxing her at 10 times what she paid for the home. Naturally, although otherwise apparently a good citizen, she falls behind on her taxes 2) For her tax money, the government gives her water contaminated with lead 3) Her tax money likewise isn't used to provide anyone jobs (or anyone that could financially help her). 4) Nor is her tax money used the properly fund schools 5) Eventually, when the woman has built up enough debt, the government swoops in and steals her home from her, to sell to some other sucker 6) This other sucker apparently imagines that the woman would want to stay in her home that she owned and pay rent to them. Obviously, she has zero reason to do that, so she packs her bags, noting that she doesn't think she'll be buying property in the future. Meanwhile, the new landlords are left with an empty dwelling, because the city government has screwed the former occupant out of their home. The only one who wins here is the city government

For a european it sure sounds like elections are rigged for wealthier people who can just go vote. It's mindboggling to vote on a TUESDAY. Who came up with that idea and why? In Germany you vote on a sunday, you dont have to register beforehand. You get mail couple weeks before, you wake up at 9am, heave your ass to the next school where it's normally done and vote. Tuesday... smh

@@u.b.5366 Well, we exported all our Democracy and now there's none left. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No kidding. The back taxes over 3 years and the fact the house auctioned for $3700 means the city was satisfied with that and interest. Which before interest was like $1000/year which is still high, but A LOT cheaper than rent. So she can go packing.

This is Detroit and Wayne Co. They don't give a $hit about the people. Never have, never will! Wasted many years of my life there and glad I left. If people were smart, when they left their tax foreclosed home it would need $100,000 in water, smoke, and other damage repairs. Just saying. Hell Detroit can't solve 80% of their murders, pretty sure they couldn't find/prove vandalism. 🤬🤪

Diane Brady Yup! Blame it on the immigrants! They’re stealing your homes? You have to me kidding me.. did you just not watch the video? The city/county is the problem but here you are pointing your racist, ignorant, stupid finger at immigrants!

@@freeinaz2aadvocate236 if you cant catch murderers its time to change who you're murdering. These workers have to live near the neighborhoods they operate in.

Aaron565 Your comment really just showed me how much knowledge you lack when it comes to religion and history. So for my wellbeing and my self love. I’m not gonna stoop down to your level of stupidity and try to argue with you I’m just not gonna do it. Have a good day!

Thank You!! Corrupt ass Detroit. Sounds like some shit Hitlery Clinton Pulled on some retired folks real estate scam. Evil Woman.

Yeah but for 3K in detroit, you might as well be living in Donetsk

And then do it all over again better off!

Smart man.

Thats really not a good idea. Why do you think the home was only 3k? The prices arent based off of some foreclosure equation, there usually shit houses. Judy had to replace her bathroom and all the piping in her house. I mean I guess if you do construction or can afford it and just want a cheap house, its a pretty good idea but for a lot of people I dont think its a good ideam

@@aleahc1379 foreclosures go for whatever the market decides. If people want to buy a $30k house for only $3k, they can and do. The bank will take whatever it can get and stick the previous owner with the rest of the bill. They can't lose. You just have to go around and look at some foreclosed houses to see, they're not all shit holes. They're just houses that people couldn't afford to make payments on. Any issues with the condition of the house will be directly related to that. If they can't even make payments, how could they fix/maintain it?

You just explained it, to a tee.

Of course the city wants to kick all the poor people out and want the rich move in... sad!!

Of course homie the rich get richer and poor argue over scraps....sad...

Ayawoke , the government owns your home; you are leasing it.

​@Ramza The Heretic Lol wut? Keep on drinking that trickle down kool-aid.

@@blndr1000 its obvious u have no idea what your talking about and have never been to Detroit this is what happens when dems control a city

Yeah nobody got screwed over in Ancient Greece or the actual dark ages.

@@thefakecanadian5117 they did, but they responded accordingly

@@MsDragonbal776 Lol are you serious?! Learn some history gal, look up what Rome did in Gaul.... So many people throughout history were oppressed and never rose up. You just hear about the ones that do.

@@TheXarus Gaul was actually a major pain in the ass for Rome. The people would rebel a the time. They were just never able to win

@@MsDragonbal776 I do agree but I'll say that in general I feel like the average individual wasn't making that decision it was bold leaders. I apologise for how I came across I've had a horrible day. Thank you for being polite :)

I'm sure feudal lords in the middle ages had similar excuses.

You mean buying the houses from people who were never able to afford them? You are not entitled to a house.

Blame the government for assessing their taxes too high for the people to afford them not the people who buy the liens.

Welcome to the free market . Enjoy your stay !

Matthew Dersam what do you mean. This entire issue is the governments fault!

its called the redistribution of wealth

It was likely the bank's home.

@@108nighthawk Did you watch the video? They're not talking about people that haven't paid off their mortgage, they're losing their homes bc of high property taxes.

@@malloryknox5072 I did watch the video, I am also not an idiot and I k ow most houses or properties in the USA are owned, not by the inhabitants, but the banks who let them stay there.

@Van Damage bailouts started with bush.

lol be the same situation if he drove a Lexus or a Ferrari

The problem is with property taxes to begin with here. If you must pay a tax then it is not your property in any manner and she never owned the house.

troll jones, so it took a VICE video in order for you to realize there was such a thing as property taxes and that everyone has to pay them? You're a genius.

Careful you are doing math and making too much sense. Couldn’t she just buy another house for $3.5k. Not pay taxes for 10 years and get evicted again? She’s still winning!
