Fall Projects?

[DianaB]

Personal property taxes are just awful!! When we lived in our old house we had a trailer house attached. It wasn't the prettiest but it gave us bedrooms and a bathroom for a cheap price. We had a little wooden porch that came with the trailer at the back door and Glen had moved in some old pieces of sidewalk for the bottom of the stairs. When the tax people came by they measured that piece of sidewalk and we were going to be taxed on it. Glen argued with them about it being old but it didn't matter so he told them "consider it gone" because I'll be moving it away. We were also taxed MORE because we had skirted the trailer. You'd think that they would want it to look nice and that we shouldn't have been taxed on that.

We just received something in the mail about the trailer house. They were wanting info about it. Glen called this morning and said that it had been flooded and wasn't in any shape to be taxed. He talked his way out of it this time.
