Re: Sign to Support Property Tax Reform - Lt. Gov. Patrick

True, I expected that, but it didn't look like the bill restricted the court to just the one fight. I just don't know if a county on one side and school district on the other would qualify for being similar enough for the above poster to have a case.

Looks like those population limits they put in are to make things screwy though.

We also pay "double taxes." We live in one county and pay full property taxes for that county. However, we're in a school district of a school located in a nearby county, so we pay THAT county's taxes as well. Never mind the fact that we're about 50 years past having any kids in school......

So what is this "property tax relief"? For me, it's in the category of "I'll believe it when I see it."
Check this out. A bill that resolves "double tax" disputes just passed.
