Hello Everyone, I got home from work and found a letter in my mailbox from the city. It seems my property has been reassessed and increased by 47,000 dollars. My home wich i finally paid in full three years ago is now going to coat me 5,000 dollars a year in property taxes. I got rid of the bank but now a new slave owner is asking me to pay up to live in my own home. Whats really going on. They killed the business owners and are laying the loss of tax revenue onto the home owners. These thieves are stealing from their own citizens. And don't get me started on the innumerable fees everywhere. Firehydrent, garbage can fees, wheel tax ( every car in the city pays 40.00 for each wheel touching the road) this is thievery. Taxation without representation. Thieves!!!

I made the mistake years ago of clearing some trees for a view, increased my property tax by almost 1,000 bucks, the only service my town provides is snow plowing and road maintenance, for which they got big federal bucks for. The town Listers (those who assess land and home value) have not been back for a few years, god knows what they will decide, as I put a new roof on 3 years ago. It is a small town, and I think there are 7 or 8 families with school age kids left in it. My taxes quadrupled 5 years after I moved here because the town decided to merger with the local elementary school, due to the fact that they loaded the school board with parents who, at that time, had their kids in school. Now there is talk to close the damn school, in that case, my taxes should be cut. But of course that wont happen.
