For some dumb reason I multiplied 300 by 6 instead of 12.
So, OK I probably pay around 200+ in sales tax every year then.
Where did I get the 33/thousand.
So, OK. Sounds like Grafton Property tax is only about twice what I pay in Sioux Falls.
. . . . .
OK, so tax wise, It would cost me approxemately (2x$700-($700+$200))=$500 a year more, then it costs me here. Plus the cost of living is higher . . . . .Humm.
I suppose I could come up with an extra $500/12~$41/month to live in Grafton.
And we can safely assume that after a hundread or so people move to Grafton that local property taxes could probably be cut in half, and the local public schooling property tax would be abolished.
. . . . .
See, the reason I don't care as much about the higher incomes (And hence, percieved by YesToAmerica as freaking out

)is that currently, I live largely off residual income from a Network marketing business that I'm in now.
Humm.
I could perhaps purchase a quarter of an acre or something for cheep, and then higher contractors to build an underground house for me, perhaps. I think decent sized ones can be built for around $40,000 (Assuming I buy the labor and don't do it myself). That could get me into a decent sized house, for about the same price I'm paying now.
How much does an acre sell for in Grafton typically? If it's less then $20,000, it would be comprable (20+40=60).
How high is the water table in Grafton? Is it low enough to make an underground house possible or practical?

P.S. You said Grafton already has cable internet, or fiber optic, or DSL internet services of some kind?
Just trying to plan. TS
P.P.S.
Oh, Mike, how would one go about purchasing membership in that land trust if I'm not even there? (Assuming that's even an option for me.) TS
