Review of Omaha, Nebraska


Taxes are ridiculous in Nebraska
Star Rating - 2/26/2013
I moved from Papillion to Huntsville Alabama a couple of years ago for my job. My property taxes in NE. were right at $5000.00 per year! Do the math. That's over $400.00 a month. I bought a similar home here, (only bigger) and my taxes are $812.00 per year! That's less than my homeowners insurance. Also, you don't have to pay property taxes on your new car here, just sales taxes @7.5%
And there is so much more to do here and it is one of the most beautiful states I have ever been in. We are never leaving.
Get out of Nebraska while you can!!

I don't know anything about Papillion but Huntsville, AL is a cesspool. And that's putting it nicely. Traffic flow is awful, roads are in terrible condition, buildings are falling down, crime is rampant, schools are pathetic, and talk about nothing to do! The airport is 15 miles outside of town and good luck finding decently-priced groceries. My daughter recently had to move into a 1-bedroom apartment and it was $850 per month in a run-down neighborhood with few amenities. Hot sticky and humid from April thru October, and always rain, rain, rain.
