0.75% here in Sweden, but capped at $1000/yr. "Economical buildings" such as garages, barns, basement etc is taxed 0.3% - 0.5% depending on municipality. Taxation value is typically half of the market value and very conservative. You can even pay extra in advance and earn interest on paid taxes, usually much better interest than any bank would pay.

$15,000 is more than most people here pay in income tax in a whole year. You can even buy a house for that amount of money.

In America, your property could sell for 400k, then they value it at 125k. And then say you owe them 15k in taxes. Its all a fucking joke

It is on the cheap side, and far north, but they do exist. Always older houses tho, no modern tofu dreg bullshit. 2-4 mil NOK must be very close to Oslo or a very modern luxurious house. There's a huge difference between cities and rural areas.

That said, since we're talking property taxes, anything more expensive than 1.5mil SEK becomes cheaper in property tax because it's capped.

You can get a small uninsulated unliveable log cabin for 150k SEK that will probably require a complete renovation including replacing dry rotted beams new roof etc. After all is said and done you are looking at spending minimum 150k SEK extra if not 300k SEK if you are unlucky.

But at least you will own your home.

With toddys energy prices, a log cabin with a wood burning stove and fireplace makes a lot of sense. Personally I'd stick to somewhere between 300k and 500k SEK. That's a good range were you'd get a lot of house for the money, especially in or near small towns.

If a log cabin is actually lived in and kept at a liveable temperature it will almost last for over 300 years, If you insulate the log cabin it will rot out in 70 years due to issues with damp.
