Not sure that it's that cheap...but the rest is true.You live in an area that's light on crime, light on police brutality, light on blacks tearing everything apart, and no other countries want to kill you. You're getting off cheap.

Ido, where in Alberta do you live exactly? I've got a buddy in Edmonton and he never has bitched about taxes... Immigrants? Plenty. But never taxes. (Not that you are bitching, I was just saying - that's about all he does about anything.)
I wasn't aware of that second part. Was that sort of a 'Jarvis Rev 2 of Prop 13?...enter Mr. Howard Jarvis and Prop 13, nick named the "once in a lifetime deal" You get to implement it once if you're single, twice if you're married. So when that couple downsizes they get to bring that original tax assessment with them thus only having to pay $360 plus the 2% annual increase...Then the old man dies and the wife want to downsize again...she gets to bring that tax base with her ...

What do property taxes cover? Who charges them? Just trying to work out what the equivalent tax is in Aus, assuming we have one...

Yes municipal property taxes cover city services and schools here.
But we get nailed by "user fees" and hidden taxes all over the place.
