Dear President and Members of the Town Council:
At the last meeting, I asked for an explanation from any and all Council members as to why no adjustment in tax rates were made to compensate for the inequities created by the last reevaluation. No comment was forthcoming from any Council member so I am left to my own imagination to devise an explanation. Perhaps the following table can help in this endeavor:
|
name |
plat/lot |
2004 assessment |
2005 assessment |
reval inc |
old tax bill |
new tax bill |
