Tax Bills are Out

[skip0358]

Got the Tax Bill today. Slight increase still way cheaper then Long Island was. :pepper2:

[Packer Fan]

Mine is down $120 from last year - Sumter County, I love you!

[dnobles]

I still don't have mine

[champion6]

I haven't received ours.

[skip0358]

Mine was email copy. Signed up a few years ago. Should be mailed this week in Sumter anyways. You can also go online and download it.

I would rather pluck my eye brows out, pi$$ on electric fence than pay taxes for some bafoons to wastefully spend it. But, at least there was little drop in mine also, but probably the calm before the storm?

Being from New Jersey and handing over between $8000 and $14000 per year for taxes I know you can identify with sheer thrill and happiness we are experiencing today. This is the best. We are thrilled. I never saw a tax bill I loved until today. I have framed it and put it next to my desk.

A reduction for paying it early. Are you serious? I'll be there in the morning to see if this is true. Maybe Americas Funniest Videos? :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Agree It's much easier living here and yes you save money if you pay it early. My ink wasn't even dry and I paid it. I find nothing to bitch about living here

We were notified by email, went to the county office on Powell Road and paid it, pretty easy thing to do.

Haven't got ours in Pine Ridge yet.

Wow! I have never seen so many taxpayers happy with their tax bill. Is this a great place to live or what!

Got mine today and paid it by Echeck immediately. The only thing that makes me mad is the $1.50 fee to use an electronic check. But, it was worth the peace of mind to get an instant receipt and not worry about the paper check getting lost. It would have cost 2.5 percent to pay by credit card. What a ripoff that is. Even Comcast doesn't charge a fee to pay by credit card or Echeck.

It's because they are charged a 2.5% credit card processing fee. They can't build it into the taxes as a company like Comcrap or Macy's or Wendy's can build it into their merchandise. For you to pay no fee, those of us who pay by check would have to cover it. As far as the eCheck fee I think that is ridiculous however I assume it is because they are using a 3rd party processing service who charges them.

Many credit cards give you a large reward if you spend x$ in 1st three months. Far exceeds the 2.5 %, plus you get the 1% or 2% additional for using the card.

I am getting $800 bonus cashback for using new credit cards.

Data Point: Sometimes those kinds of payments (taxes) hit your card as a cash advance and cost FAR MORE than 2.5%. It depends on how their credit card processor codes it. I got clobbered on an auto-insurance payment a couple years ago.

This idea of super low Real Estate Taxes depends on where you came from. Our old house was two story, brick, two car garage with the third bay made into a movie theater when we had it built, four bedrooms, 2 and a half baths, office and full basement on over four acres, and tax bill was half as here.

We also did not pay water sewer trash collection as we had our own well and septic and took our little bit of trash onch a week to the Convenience center.

So, not cheaper for all. Remember you Yankees why your taxes were high, you voted in people who spent too much.

Chase Freedom Card drops $$Pennies$$ from heaven every so often but there is probably something better from AMEX.

Once the build out in Sumter County is complete watch the taxes begin an upward trend.

New residents add to the revenue but once it levels offs expenses will continue upward and...........

In some counties around the nation school taxes are waived for retirees who have reached 65
