She does not have a leg to stand on but paid most of the taxes in good faith? Fcking idiots. They deserve all the illegal muslim immigrants not paying taxes to destroy their county. Because it is with attitudes like these that people lose faith in real estate and dealing with their government
The bill due July 1 showed up at home a couple of days ago, but the late payment fee kicks in for payments made after August 14th (or so, as I recall)
I’m reminded of those that “devour widows’ houses”, but these leftists don’t even bother with prayer.
Rules are rules. Follow the rules. Or elect reps to repeal the rules or those creating rules. If you don’t like the rules, nobody is forcing you to stay. Simple personal responsibility.
Why not serve her personally with a legal notice?
Such aggressive action taken over a minor amount of money is going to have a negative effect on property valuations overall. People aren’t going to like the possibility of losing their property over a late fee with no notification. A less draconian way to ensure collection would be a tax lien on the property.
Still think you live in a free country and actually own your property? Think again, suckah.
No one owns property. They just pay huge deposit fees (sardonicly called buying), to the previous renter. Then they pay yearly rents to the true owner. If you don’t pay your rent then you get evicted and the true owner then rents it out again.
This is precisely why it’s nearly impossible to foreclose on a property, why it’s impossible to evict a squatter. Because of sob stories like this, reactionary laws are written to protect the delinquent owner, and as a result situations like what I now face are all too common.
My crazy neighbor, who thinks he’s Jesus Christ, and yells at the top of his lungs “you are all going to die, the government is planing to bomb us all with nuclear weapons!”, when he isn’t playing “Christian” rock music at the maximum level of his stereo, all day and night, he hasn’t payed his mortgage or condo fees for over a year (much less property taxes I’m sure). He’s received multiple eviction/foreclosure notices but nothing ever happens. Nothing. And it’s all because of the rediculous legal requirements now in place because of sob stories like this idiot woman who couldn’t bring herself to pay $7 in late fees.
With all that said, property taxes as a concept are an abhorrent injustice to any landowner. One never truly owns a property with such modern day fiefdom in place. This cannot be debated, if one is paying money to another entity even the government by definition, one does not truly own the property! The one receiving the money owns the property! Such legalized thievery needs to stop I don’t care about the fact such moneies are used to fund public schools. Public schools are godless enterprises set up to fatten teachers unions anyway, such injustice cannot be abided. It’s un-American in every sense.

Another example of why I utterly oppose property taxes as being destructive of property rights. No one ever really OWNS their property in one of these jurisdictions.
At least the British are right up front about it and they call property tax by its more honest name so the peons all know who is in charge: RENT
