  • I was shocked with my new annual tax notice that my property taxes are going up over five hundred dollars every year after i built my hay barn. The government is out of control with taxing and it really is hurting farmers.. We also attend the state archery competition and try to keep up with the kids.. Thanks for watching and God Bless!

      Farmers ain't the only ones paying high property taxes. Unless you're a millionaire on a mansion with money to burn EVERYONE else pays higher taxes. Rich folks the only ones off the hook. Stop voting for those who only shmooze to please the rich folks. They will never work to help the rest of hard working Americans. Unless you make over $250K a year, they're just empty promises.

    You all are very family faithful. And all of you give God the glory.
    I love watching your clips. It gives me a great view of the beautiful out door life, that I once enjoyed so much. You are teaching your precious children wonderful values.
    God will bless you because of this theft. And, it is a theft. He loves you and yours. Keep being who you are and wait for that blessing. God's children get persecuted more so than non- Christians. But your love of God and family will always be your saving grace.
    Thank you for each video.
    Hugs from a fan in Texas.❤

Door over to my sitting area. I take my O2 and inhalers. It can be pretty outside. Selling my farm house and land to move to town was hard. But, I'm safer. I'm happy for families like these good people; the Walkers. ❤️

    Our county uses drones; they raised ours a lot based on “roofs”. We went in to ask why, and tell them most of those new “roofs” were movable shelters for pigs, goats, and rabbits. She snottily said it didn’t matter!
    Funny thing, when we refinanced our house and property 3 years ago, that assessor stated that no outbuildings had any affect on valuation (because they may or may not be a positive). I realize there is a difference between market value and taxable value, but counting movable shelters is beyond ridiculous. Not to mention that you already paid tax several times to build your barn (tax on the materials, labor?, building permit…). I am so over it.

My little acreage 5 acres, the taxes then increased 450%!! I did call, and the county didn’t realize it was just a exchange between family members, since my last name is different. Now I have to go to the land assessors meeting and request that they change it back to what it was prior. - 450% increase! That is totally wrong.

    My late wife and I built a house in a new development in 2006 and I've objected to the property value for tax purposes every time it has changed except this past year. I was successful in getting a lower value every time also. You probably can find the value of other similar properties in your immediate area and see how much their property value for tax purposes was raised. Before this year I was dealing with neighbors whose property tax went up or down in ways the county could not rationally explain. It takes time but it's worth a shot.

A much more comfortable trip for everyone. Not sure what your options are. Works for traveling for any sports events & church camp trips.
    As far as the barn goes maybe meet with them to see what loop holes there might be & what exactly did they look for.
    Floor (cemented).
    Sides enclosed?
    Used for?

      @WalkerFarmFam Maybe we can all call your State Rep or whom ever you'd call for something like that.
      I'm sure we could rally your RUclips and Facebook Family.

    Hi Garry and Cassie, busy, busy. It wouldn't hurt to bring it to their attention about your tax increase on your barn. Just to make sure there's no mistake. Garry, I haven't seen Geronimo?? ❤ ❤ 😊

    If you ever get back to Petals of the past in Alabama, you need to catch up with Catherine from G&G farm. Her and her husband Tony have built an Archery range on their farm. The kids would love it. I hear you about taxes. All our rates used to be lumped together, then about 10 years ago the council separated the water rates into a separate entity. Over the course of 2 years they snuck up the prices of each and now we pay double what we used to pay. Not impressed.

    Gary,
    I had to protest a tax increase in Cherokee County. The ladies at the Assessors office walked me through the process. If I remember correctly, I just had to write a letter explaining why there shouldn't have been an increase. I think you're in Mayes County and I'd think they'd do the same thing. My protest was successful so, I think it's always worth trying. The worst outcome is them saying no. You might be surprised though. Your increase sounds a little excessive but it probably depends on when the last one was. God Bless!

    In Illinois the assessed value is 1/3 if retail value. So a $25,000 barn should only add $8,333 to your assessed value, or whatever percentage your county charges. So check to see how much your assessment went up. If more than the calculation above then you can argue. The total valuation should only change fir the barn and nothing else because nothing else changed and is another year older. Good luck!!

    In Colorado the ruling that kept our property taxes under control was voted out so that businesses would be taxed at a higher rate. Property values increased, and a new assessment was done on those values. Our property taxes went up 30% this year! Without any improvements!!! So 3% with having an improvement made doesn't sound bad to me.

    Where I live in Maryland it’s not taxable unless it has a door on it.

    I’m so sorry, about the taxes, Gary. My daughter’s home was reassessed school taxes, second year in a row. This is a nice suburb in Columbus area, in a very nice home that has not changed. But, some homes are going up around them. Well, (are you sitting down?)their SCHOOL taxes went UP another $40,000/yr. We are in a small farm community near by, and they are building ALL AROUND us. Yep, ours are starting to creep up, and we’re holding our breadths about the election. What is going on in this country?
    Just know, you did the right thing in keeping up improvements on your property. That’s what America is about. Forging ahead and protecting your property. God has given us dominion over His creation, and I thank Him all the time, for conscientious, Christian farmers who keep doing the right thing, despite the obstacles. I’m sorry this is happening, to your family. Be blest always☦️👩🏻‍🦳🐾♥️

    Hi Gary, Kathy here. You have gotten me very curious about your British White's. I have been reading up on the terms that you use to describe your cattle and I have got to say that it is a very interesting breed. So much information to take in. I can very easily go down a rabbit trail reading the info. Ha. Thanks for peaking my interest.

My Dad Always MET HIM OUTSIDE, Dad was Friendly, but NEVER let the MAN walk Around the Farm...😂 Dad Always told Him We Filled the Paperwork out & Sent it in, NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN !! 😊 The Government has Gotten out of Control I think if We Don't Stand Up For Our Rights They Will Be taking it Away from Us Just as Easy as They Raised Your Taxes!! 😢 Good Job Ranger, Mazzie & Ransom on Archery Basketball & That Fancy Drippling! ❤ God Bless You All..

    Its awful knowing we will never truly own our property. Having to pay taxes that just keep going up every year in order to keep your property is ridiculous!!. A percent here and there is ok but 24% is terrible on a fixed income. Definitely protest it Gary!! If you don't they'll keep doing it!! Thanks Gary and good luck 🙏✌️👋 baby calf is beautiful!!
