Review of Omaha, Nebraska


High taxes
Star Rating - 4/20/2011
I read some reviews on Omaha. I am retired now and live in another state. I really enjoyed Omaha. It is a great city and especially nice place to raise a family. The people are friendly and I consider it one of the nicest places I ever lived. But the TAXES! No one warned me what a high tax state Nebraska is. Property taxes are through the roof. License your vehicle and be ready for sticker shock. And worst of all, there is absolutely nada benefits for retirees. There are many, many states that give seniors tax breaks but Nebraska is not one of them. I looked at the situation when I retired and I got out of Dodge as fast as I could. Nebraska has to do 100% better in giving its senior citizens some tax relief.
