      5? I bought my house a decade ago and it has almost doubled. If he built his house for less than his current property taxes, he would easily get 10x if not higher.

        the sign says that property tax each year is a third of his original house cost. Assume he lives in a place with insane 15% property tax:

        x*0.15*3=1
        x=3*6
        x=18

        His house is worth 18x or more what he paid to build it.
