Our state has been "fixing" the property tax mess for the past couple of years. First, our the value of our house was marked up unrealistically. Apparently, many others' homes were also over-priced. After great wailing and gnashing of teeth, the state adjusted the system again and provided tax relief! To home owners! Yay!
Well, the money had to come from somewhere.
They re-assessed farmland -- bare, unimproved farmland -- and raised the taxes on our ground.
So, we are still paying a staggering (to us) amount in property tax, but not on the house. On the ground instead.
The best part, though, is that bills were delayed ... the first installment was due Dec. 1 and the second is due in mid-January.
Just in time for Christmas.
