Protesting property assessment - worth it?

There's no fee to contest your assessment. Appraisal will be recent because I have to have an appraisal to close...

I see what you're saying... I think for one, I'm hoping it would come in below the actual purchase price and secondly, its a long term sacrifice to let...

Interesting so the only way for your property taxes to increase is to increase the tax rate? Feel like that would crate wildly disproportionate taxes...

I just purchased a new home. Closing Aug. 1. My county just had an across the board 14% assessment increase for all homes, consequently increasing everyone's...

I don't find this fishy at all, more likely its a sign of inflated home prices creating very few opportunities for real estate investors. I've been looking...

x2 what DS said especially for Hobby Lobby. During xmas, you'll find some holiday decor but mostly valentines day, easter and even fourth of july because...

Instacart shoppers are not employees, I agree, but I fail to see how that has a negative impact on the stores profits. They have an entirely different...

Everywhere I've seen has a minimum order and if you don't meet it, you pay a convenience fee. My store is $10 for delivery and $5 for curbside. Surely...

[riverwed070707]

I do. Not every time but I do like it. I always wait until I need a full kitchen restock so there are no fees (min is $35 or $100 depending on which store...

Not disagreeing corn, just pointing out that saying 39% is a fair share isn’t an accurate representation of what’s taking place in the top tier

[riverwed070707]

Come on TH, you know as well as anyone that no one in the top tax bracket pays taxes on their full income. When WEB released his taxes in protest of Trump...

[riverwed070707]

Fair point, but I don't think that the fact that he's contributing to his kids foundations should downplay the benefits of those non-profit organizations....

[riverwed070707]

I feel the same. Graduated with $12k in debt from borrowing my first 2 years and paying out of pocket for my last 2. Don’t want to come off as a “what...

[riverwed070707]

Actually the one thing that has consistently come out of UBI trials is that people are more willing to work at lower paying jobs because they have a security...

[riverwed070707]

Certainly to that point, the major perk of implementing a VAT is that one of the largest complaints of non-citizens is that don't pay income tax but can...

[riverwed070707]

Certainly there is no single fix for every financial issue in our country. What I don't like about minimum wage increase is that it only benefits the...

[riverwed070707]

Read that too corn. I definitely hesitated over the assumption that people would be healthy and avid jail as a reliable source of income but otherwise...

[riverwed070707]

DS I thought the same. I could get behind this way easier than I could support student loan forgiveness, increased min wage, etc. I don’t think those...

[riverwed070707]

Generally agree with others. It's too late and it's impractical, and the bigger issue is that this many years after the abolition of slavery and civil...

Saw Dem candidate Andrew Yang on Colbert last night. Scanned his site and he has some really interesting, just different than what every other candidate...
