I pay 400 dollars a year in property taxes on 64 acres with a 1000 sq foot house. Taxes vary by county greatly. And as said above, no state income tax. Our gun laws are pretty good, need a license to carry open or concealed, but other than that the laws are pretty lax. No wait periods, open carry of long guns is okay without a license. You can hunt with suppressors, can even hunt hogs from helicopters with full auto.
