I wonder if we can start asking local governments for a tax refund, since many of the “services” that we’ve paid for haven’t been performed?

WE had a vacation home on Cape Cod which, like many roads there was “private” in the sense it was not owned by nor was it the responsibility of the town. When we offered to turn the street over to the Town they refused it.

I had the same thought as you. Why is my tax rate the same as the guy on the next street who has road repairs taken care of as well as snow plowing while I didn’t?

So I called the DOR for the town and asked how I could get a credit on my real estate tax bill or else a reduction in my homes assessment?

He laughed and said people have been asking for that for years and no one has ever gotten it.

You forgot your sarcasm tag. Oh, you were serious?
