There is even one house that was set up in a trust account a couple of years ago (that's right, I track this stuff!), family is a couple of years younger than us, all working. Their taxes were slashed to 1/3 of the 2008 taxes (to just over $100)
WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE COUNTY DO THIS????

What I wanna know is WHY?

The system was set up to provide relief from property taxes to those who deserve relief, but as time goes on, some found loopholes and closing any loophole brings unbelievable backlash. It's never about right or wrong, deserving or undeserving. It's all about PR and manipulating a system for gain.

Let me ask this first.
Would you like for community charitable organizations to be able to get a reduction in property taxes on property they own that is used directly in pursuit of their community charitable function?
