Way to stand up to the man!

The board chair also sided with me - saying I DID buy the house at 64K. But yeah, I might have bettered 'city hall' or in this case - Douglas County.

Yes! That is making the system work FOR you. Congrats (in anticipation of a favorable ruling)!

Glad you did what you did gythiawulfie January 6 2011, 18:33:48 UTC

Too often times folks just let them do whatever, and never question it, never look into it, or complain. Sheeple I tell you. Too many sheeple.

I think we could appeal the tax valuation on our house, too - except that I'm afraid it would change the replacement value of the insurance (which is about 170% of what we paid for the place). I want to keep the insurance value, just in case something does happen.
