Ok so whats wrong with FL? Property taxes are IMHO unconstitutional and very unfair. Local sales tax is high. Tag tax, every so often an additional county tax, all the taxes labeled as fees are high and going higher to offset "No income tax."
That said, living near Clearwater in the greater Tampa Bay region, we'd prefer a little more winter or change of seasons. Originally from NJ. Never going back. I am retired Army and have had other jobs that will help in retirement. Wife is a Banker and will have a pension and SS. We have over $700k in various financial vehicles that we are happy with.
What we are looking for is less property tax and the other fees that I talked of earlier.
We are considering SC or GA. Specifically Charleston or Savannah areas.
Can anyone comment on the tax situation there as well as the pros and cons of each area in terms of quality of life. Are there hidden costs? How are the prop taxes? any gotcha kinds of policies?
