- CalRobert 3mo agoNo idea where they are but when I had a very cheap house in Ireland the property taxes were only a bit over €100 per year.

I pay very little but we also have no public roads and basically no fire or police -- you can pretty much pick what property tax rate you want if you're a little bit mobile.
