How to deal with increasing property tax burden?

First of all, they have different names now, but that doesn't matter. In Bavaria, it only depends on area and usage. [Bodenrichtwerte] and [Immobilienwerte] don't matter. There's a fairly clear explanation on the internet. Honestly, I find it better than the federal model, but still not really good.

This is how it is regulated in Bavaria. Here with numbers for living area and floor area.

This is how it is regulated in Bavaria. Just with numbers for living area and plot area.

Means in Bavaria: medium-sized plot in Munich with brand-new luxury villa = low property tax vs. huge plot in the countryside with a normal house in need of renovation = high property tax (of course depending on the assessment rates)
So a manager in Munich is "rewarded" and the agricultural machinery technician together with his housewife in the countryside is punished?

Things are going really well in Bavaria.

The entire principle is nonsense and reminds one of the time of principalities and counties, where everyone could levy their own taxes, tolls, and whatever else on their territories.

From German history, one can understand the almost compulsive tendency of Germans towards federalism. But unfortunately, it currently creates significantly more problems than it solves.

For example, if a municipality has a booming industrial company, it can lower the assessment rate and make the daycare free. The municipality 3 km away does not have that and has to raise the assessment rate until it squeaks, and the daycare also costs money.

The most absurd thing, however, is that I pay taxes on my property to the municipality. Upon purchase and then every year.

It would somehow be nice if a distinction were made between inflation and price level.

- It is true that the jumps in price levels due to Corona and the Ukraine war have not been caught up.

- It is false that we see wage agreements below inflation.

- It is nonsensical to measure inflation against gold or stocks. Neither are consumption, investment, goods, or services. They are savings vehicles. If these were converted into purchasing power, their value measured in money would decrease and vice versa.

Why exactly is that nonsensical? Bonds linked to an inflationary currency are less in demand because the currency inflates more strongly than the investment yields interest. In that case, institutional investors put their money elsewhere. Especially in the stock market. It is not gold that has gained 100% in value within a short time, but the purchasing power of our money is declining. We notice the same daily when shopping.

And the fact that assets are regularly excluded from the inflation basket, such as the affordability of owner-occupied housing, is highly manipulative anyway. What do food prices matter to me when the absolute price drivers lie somewhere else (to put it bluntly)?

but the purchasing power of our money is declining. We notice the same thing every day when shopping.

It's called inflation and has existed since there has been money - just ask the ancient Romans...

Why should I care about food prices when the absolute price drivers are somewhere else entirely (exaggerated)

You should educate yourself about inflation. Particularly volatile goods are often excluded to get a "real" inflation rate. Take sharply rising oil prices as an example. You can have no or hardly any price increases in daily life and in all stores and still have a high inflation rate on paper. The same can be true for food - in the USA, the extremely increased egg prices are indeed significantly driving up overall inflation.
