I hate property taxes with a passion. I have no mortgage on my house but I still have to pay rent to the government in the form of property taxes. Why should I have to pay taxes on something just because I own it?

The tax collector can stick it for telling the citizen to take his protest elsewhere. The citizen is delivering legal tender.
The tax collector is lucky that it is not all in pennies.

On a very serious note here, I think that more and more people across the ‘Fruited Plain’ have decided that property taxes need to go into the trash can of history.

These ‘taxes’ are probably the most misused and confiscatory of all taxes. They go after those who have the fortune or possibly mis-fortune to own something that someone else has decided is worthy of being taxed. Land, houses even automobiles.

And the most arrogantly misused portion of these ‘property taxes’ is that if you don’t pay them these ‘bureaucratic crooks’ will steal or confiscate your property and sell it for pennies on the dollar just to get the ‘taxes’ they say you owe them. Once again just for having the privilege of owning something.

Land of the ‘Free’ home of the brace... I’m sorry to say it hasn’t been very free for a long time now.

It’s also time to stop this misuse of power by the Government too.

I would have paid in pennies.

In NJ his tax bill would be double that. In his PA town the tax rate works out to about 3% of house value per year. He can get that down to 1.5% by moving into PA’s northeastern resort area. Many of the houses are vacation homes with no children in the public schools so the school tax load is more spread out. However his commute will be longer. Using the IRS mileage rate he won't save any money and will spend more time in traffic. The bureaucrats gotcha and they know it.

No one “owns” property. You can only keep it if all the government entities and your Home Owners Association are paid off every year...a sobering fact when you are paying off your mortgage.

Np - towards the insane Teachers Unions...

The tax collector tells Fernandes his protest should probably be directed elsewhere, toward the school board, maybe, which is in charge of setting property tax rates.

Everyone should do what this man did.

In the time it took the clerk the do all the b**ching about the job she should have done, she could have been well into counting the bills.

[who knows what evil?]

Many people are sick and tired of being raped by property taxes; much of it to finance OTHER people’s children so-called ‘education’. You want to send your children to public school, then you pay for it. I’m tired of being extorted by school unions.

[who knows what evil?]

The tax collector should quit whining...I wouldn’t provided donuts, and I wouldn’t have been in an apologetic mood.

My county has a loophole. If you live in a trailer on your own land then they tax you at the “unimproved land” rate which is virtually nothing. If you take the wheels off it becomes a permeant structure then the real properties taxes start. I own about 12 acres with a really nice house that I built in 2000. I am going to section off 5 acres and buy the nicest airstream whatever and live in it and sell my primary residence. Never take the wheels off!

Cute but I would make him count it 6 or 7 times before he got a receipt. And if the office closed during the count, he’d have to start over the next day.

[Chode]

but the welfare RATS say i'm not paying my Fair share

We have to pay for the free school breakfast for everybody, haven’t you heard?
