Okay, but I don't live in Wisconsin, I'm in Indiana. My assessed property value has been going up, and the associated taxes owed have been going up right along with it. More than a little annoying.
While I can't say that I know a lot about how Indiana taxes home/land owners, the little I just read about it, makes me think that it is pretty crazy with the cap rules. Which limits the amount of property taxes to 1% of property values for homesteads (owner-occupied), 2% for other residential property and farmland, and 3% for all other property. This is basically a capped system favoring wealthy people. So maybe that is why you are seeing increases every year, you are helping to pay their "fare share".
Not to mention consumption taxes: energy taxes on fuels, phone taxes, excise taxes, alcohol, tobacco, airline, . . . And some products we buy are taxed several times along the production route.
Well, the property taxes haven't seemed that bad until the last few years when the prices have gone haywire. As for the investment, I haven't been planning on selling, I was thinking this was my last house, as I'm getting up there in years, and moving is a huge pain in the rear. So I would prefer not to see the housing prices rise, since its only effect on me is to raise my taxes (and insurance costs).Even with that though, if the assessed value of your home is rising, it's actual market value is probably rising too. So you should feel good about your growing investment, maybe higher taxes, but more money when you sell.
I'm not familiar with this system of which you speak. We pay a percentage of our value, and every time the assessment goes up, my property taxes have gone up to match. But I wouldn't be surprised if the municipal budget has gone up, because everything's gone up, hasn't it? I get the impression they keep jacking the assessments so they can collect more money.
I think it depends on how good your tax guy is...I dont make anywhere close to even the league minimum but I do my own taxes and I think I suck at being a tax guy cuz I lose a lot
Touché! Are you going to tax us on it though? I will stop taxing you and others with it.
I am getting the Love one 3rd hand. Not sure if true.
One of the many things I did was to take the Assessor's exam in Madison, and got my license. I was qualified as an assessor at all levels. It's not a complicated system, and does deal with fair market value. Some assessors are very level headed, others aren't as good at keeping the playing field fair.
The Packers confidence or maybe lack there-of in Love will be reflected in what happens with his pending contract. They would be absolutely stupid to give him a big contract, if they aren't 100% convinced he is the real deal.
Good points. We're going to find out before the season starts, in my opinion, as to how they view Love and his future as a Packer.
I hope they wait longer than that, but either way, I think Love will be playing for the Packers in 2025 and beyond.
2 days away? I would usually say hire a professional, most only charge if they are successful, but it may be too late to do that.
I guess I wasn't aware that the Atrium was closed, I can still access it and create a thread in it.
The shortcut to it on the main menu does not exist.. Otherwise it works as it normally did but is only open to those that find it. Sort of like a secret clubhouse.
True, but I created my own tab and shortcut to it a long time ago.
I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, and in fact would be disappointed if it were not. It's exactly what I would expect from a young quarterback in his situation, who is driven to succeed and make himself the best he can be.
