17. Nope. After age 55, you are allowed to transfer your property tax to a new property...

The only requirement is that the new property be of equal or lesser value as the old property. So, let's say you buy a home at age 30, live there for 25 years and now have a lower property tax than your neighbors, you can move and take that lower property tax with you. You used to only be allowed to do this one time. Now, you can do it three times.
