Wal(ofChina)Mart's '06 property tax increase is .0393%

The weather outside is frightful so I thought I'd look at some Ford County Property tax information to cheer me up.

I know how much the property tax on the doGhouse increased over last year and I took it like a doG. Surely the china depot on the hill had a comparable increase..

Well, I was wrong.

2006 is $329,172.90
2005 is $329,043.44
$129.46

The boys on the hill got a better deal. Their tax increase (for the whole year) was a whopping $129.46, or .0393%.

So does that mean they lowered your taxes or your house is just worth less?

Looks like less taxes, my assessed value is the same for both years.

Well my house hasn't gone up 56% in value since the 90's.......... it's the taxes...... course actually the taxes aren't really all that bad - ya otta see our taxes down here - course we got lots to show for it. Somethin tells me if taxes were higher - only certain folks' profit and income would go up - I don't think they have been really responsible in using tax money to this point. I'm happy they aren't takin as much as they probably would like to have.

I'm just one of the "fools" that rents. I will only be here about another year and I couldn't see buying a house..especially in Dodge where I would never be able to sell it for just 3 years.....
