Live in shelters.

You are not forced to rent.

So my options are essentially limited to renting, buying a camper, or mooching off others.

That is up to you.

There is some reason your board is not approving the split.

In our township you would need 400 foot of frontage on the road.

You are the one that did not have a contract and check on zoning.

So you have no problem with the standard practice of using zoning to prevent poor people from buying homes.

I knew what the zoning was, I wanted to litigate but the owner just wanted to sell.

Out of State vehicle transfer. Of course, necessary due to sales tax lost from the purchase of the vehicle. Makes sense. http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/faqmotor.html

You were indicating it was a repetitive cost as well.

I do not have a problem with it.

Zoning protects the value of my property......all areas have their own standards.

Sounds like you knew this would not work.

Only you're too late to file to get this year's taxes reduced.

Texas doesn't have a homestead exemption tax credit, which is what she asked me about.

They simply shave a little off the appraised value, which they raise year after year, anyway.

Exemptions

That is the credit we qualify for.

How does that give you a credit for all of your property tax? I don't think you get all of it back. You just pay less.

We call it a homestead tax credit.....it is not an exemption.

I pay my land tax.....then in April I file a state return.....I get my land taxes back....with a home heating credit.

Sounds like you knew this would not work.

So you oppose free market capitalism and support protectionism for homeowners. Typical.

Why not then protectionism for domestic automakers, autoworkers (e.g. import auto quotas), steelmakers and steelworkers, renters (rent control - they're just protecting the value of their housing expense)...where does it end? Or does it end with your home because homeowners are, you know, special?

And yes, I knew it wouldn't work, but I like to uphold principles.
