Has anybody received their 4th quarter tax bill?
It's due in about 2 weeks and I haven't seen it.
This bill is supposedly going to correct the 3rd quarter overcharge. Anybody hear anything about it? |

Not here yet.
Then again, I suspect you are searching for your contact lens in the light, where it's easier to look, rather than where you lost it. |

Oh, it's an old joke.
Woman finds man in kitchen. "What are you doing?"
Man: "Looking for my contact lens."
Woman: "I can help. Do you remember approximately where you lost it?"
Man: "In the living room."
Woman: "Then why are you looking here in the kitchen?"
Man: "The light is better here."
In other words, the asking is easier here on MOL, but the answer is likely to be somewhere else. |

Remember that the third and fourth quarter bills include the increases for the first and second quarter bills as well. This is because the budgets are not finalized in time. |

Just got ours yesterday.
Did a little math. Our property taxes have tripled (up 200%) in the fourteen years we have lived here.
During that same time, the cost of living has increased roughly 55%, compounded.
The quality of services we receive has remained roughly the same.
So, could someone please explain why my local tax load has doubled in real terms? |

Simple to fix , take the school portion of the bill & divid it evenly over all the ratables . Forget the new police station & cut the amount of administration in the school system. Or better still Chris , your taxes are up 200% because you live on the West side of town. We break away from the East side & SO and form our own town .Let's call it West Ridge & join Union Co.. |

Some good ideas, jet. I disagree with breaking up the town, but I love the idea of cutting the educracy. |

My fourth quarter bill is $300 less than my third quarter bill. Is this typical? I rather expected this, since the town admitted they made a high miscalculation last quarter. |

Tom: The fourth quarter is lower to adjust for the third quarter overpayment. Everyone's bill is that way. |
