My property taxes have gone down consistently over the last 4 years.

Can I be your neighbor?

They've had 8 different bond preposals on the local ballot over the past few years and I've turned ever last one of them down.

On the other hand the majority of folks living in West Linn and Clackamas County have consistently passed levies which they believe enhance our community. In terms of real estate prices, this has worked very well. Because our services and schools are top notch, the value of Real Estate continues to outpace areas where these things are lacking. People are begging to move here.

This seems like a no brainer; pay $300 more a year in property taxes and when you sell said property, it goes for $150,000 more than those in other areas.

Ah yes, the classic "Keep the neighborhood as white as possible by jacking up property taxes technique"

I like your style, Prime!

While you are right in that the neighborhood where I live is 90% or more white, we do have people of color. They are just rich people of color....you know, like the Blazers and oil barons from the Mideast.

Yeah and they are probably the richest of them all!

How can this happen?  Is your property value still going down?

What's your plan for the future of education and the military? Do you think we need them? Would it be better if kids were all home schooled? Should the military be all volunteer, meaning without pay or should we dispense with the military altogether? What to do about those folks who put their lives on the line so the rest of us can feel safer and ended up permanently disabled? Should we take the attitude that it's par for the course and just their tough luck that they lost limbs, their mental health, or whatever?

It seems to me everyone has an opinion how to "fix" things. Opinions are worthless without concrete, well thought out plans and propositions. It also seems to me that we put too much stock in politician's rhetoric, especially when campaigning for election or re-election. It is my opinion, political campaigning reduces those who seek election to nothing more than used car salesmen who will do and say anything to finalize the deal.

What say you Marty?

PS

I thought your thread was about property tax. It seems to have morphed into a rant about all taxes and the failings of government in general.

we need 20 percent of the military

kids learn like adults in do or die situations only one problem needs to be solved a day.

you learn by looking shit up in a book or on the net

reading is learned in two years max .

Hospitals and churches erode the tax base too much in some New York areas.

This is a local issue based on state guideline (thanks Republicans who have controlled our state Govt!)  (The North Carolina General Statutes mandates that counties in North Carolina conduct a countywide revaluation of real property at least once every eight years.)



Nothing to do with the President.  Hope this helps.

Pretty sure that the Republicans got it done every eight years as opposed to the yearly jack-up that the money-grubbing democrats were looking for.

[denarii]

funny how they do these revaluation without any knowledge of anything being done to the house fucking assholes.

your relatives prob live in the kinds of places that would feature in a quentin tarrantino movie.

Nope. and the libs continue to bitch about our governor 

"It is noteworthy that property taxes have continued their downward trend despite rising property values since the end of the recession. This means that property tax reductions have countered year-over-year value growth and then some, leading to lower bills."

The goal of the elite is grow cities upward and take over large areas of land. Easier to control people when they're all in the same place. One of the ways they will do this is go after the drinking water in areas. They will say that the water is unsafe to drink and people will move out of the area until many areas are considered unlivable. Places like Detriot and Flint Michigan are foreshadowing the future of America. How long have we've been hearing about America's infrastructure being a mess?

I've heard of this.  Making a couple "population centers" and categorizing all other land as off-limits.

[MANGOOS]

there was little or no change in 2015

this is going to kill the economy for 2017 no matter whos president

when i say property taxes increased i dont mean just by a little bit many have doubled in property tax amount and i mean low income black familys that own there house used to pay 500 a year now have to pay 900 and more

whats goin on now is massive theft

i feel bad for this one older black dude i know hes 70 and his wife died and now they are jackin up his property tax and hes barely getting by

im helping a few people with there appeals by finding comps

in other words the city is criminally increasing property values on houses that have not been renovated or updated in order to get more taxes!

the city is basically saying your old house is worth just as much if not more than a similar house with new renovations

wtf? do ou think that only blacks struggle?

That's what I'd do if I had the right bloodline to control the world...
