a residential area

Records claim "hotel/resort" with the ~$160K assessed value exempted to $0.

I wonder what exemption that is...

Maybe retired people can become part owners of businesses to offer their "experience" (their $80,000-$100,000 age exemption) in exchange for a portion of the tax savings.

Not much different than when retired football quarterbacks get paid millions to be on the board of a major airline. (Granted, they did probably fly a lot during their careers)

For some reason that sounds like a "scam".

Scam?
Yes, yes it does.
I got my idea from a "resort" in a residential area paying no real estate taxes.
Didn't this thread start off with:

"Your tax dollars at work"
