Today was a wild and crazy day
�?/FONT>First it started with a phone call from the county commissioner
My appeal of the property assessment, and the recommendation
by the city, that it be lowered from $12 thousand this year to
$3500, passed muster at the county too. So barring any unforseen
events, my taxes next year should be considerably lower.
�?/FONT>Then I had to run to the county seat and pick up some copies from the
assessors office, or at least try to.......... well I couldn't get them, because
she said they are not for public viewing..... This is not right and her head
may be on the block for that one too, along with the overassessment of
property. Anyway we'll see how that one goes......
�?/FONT>Then I had to go to the auditors office and make an appointment for my
appeal of the taxes that are payable this year. (almost $800 dollars)
�?/FONT>I get to go in to meet with the county commissioners next Tuesday.
With the assessment being lowered for the taxes at the city, from the 12
thousand, I feel pretty confident the assessment for last year of 32
thousand isn't going to stand. So hopefully I won't be paying as much this
year as I would have to.
�?/FONT>I got my fingers crossed for that one.
�?/FONT>Then I came home and made sure I had all the copies I needed, and did the
ones that I wanted to be sure were right, and stapeled those all together.
Those are ready for the meeting Tuesday.........
�?/FONT>After that boat load of stuff, I called the fella from town here that works
his day job out of town, to come and fix the dripping pipe in the basement.
He showed up after work and took care of that for me, now I won't be
throwing 10 gallons of water down the drain every day, in drips.
Now I'm really tired, and I think if Radar can see his way clear to making it
an early night, and coming in before it gets to be too late, I'm going to go
to bed early myself.
That was my day, how was yours?
