Voters approve tax increase

Thank God!!!

Property tax, millage tax is an ad valorem tax that an owner of real estate or other property pays on the value of the property being taxed. There are three species or types of property: Land, Improvements to Land (immovable man made things), and Personalty (movable man made things). Real estate, real property or realty are all terms for the combination of land and improvements. The taxing authority requires and/or performs an appraisal of the monetary value of the property, and tax is assessed in proportion to that value. Forms of property tax used vary between countries and jurisdictions.

There is a form of tax which is often confused with the property tax. This is the special assessment tax. These are two distinct forms of taxation: one (ad valorem tax) relying upon the fair market value of the property being taxed for justification, and the other, (special assessment) relying upon a special enhancement called a "benefit" for its justification.

The property tax rate is often given as a percentage (amount of tax per hundred currency units of property value). It may also be expressed as a permille (amount of tax per thousand currency units of property value), which is also known as a millage rate or mill levy. $$***(A mill is also one-thousandth of a dollar.)***$$ To calculate the property tax, the authority will multiply the assessed value of the property by the mill rate and then divide by 1,000. For example, a property with an assessed value of US$ 50,000 located in a municipality with a mill rate of 20 mills would have a property tax bill of US$ 1,000.00 per year.[1]

Glad to hear it!

I always see this abbreivated in newspapers as mil. Are you upset that they abbreviated it or that they used the wrong abbreviation?

Mill is the correct abbreviation for millage. Mil is correct for million. Taxes are levied at a millage rate, not a rate per million. Millage are per thousand.

Perhaps Parkeway is another reincarnation of BeternU?

At least Bernie admitted this morning he had been misusing the word "factoid."

Parkeway obviously does not have the intelligence to differentiate between the terminus of his/her alimentary canal and a fissure in the earth's crust. beternU would not post such ignorant tripe. Are you still smarting from the "cross-eyed baby chick" business?

Really, John (aka BetternU), no one, I mean NO ONE, writes like you. Please don't insult us by logging in with a sock puppet. That childish behavior is beneath even you.

Jeez . . .

I think you nailed THAT one, GF!!!

I wish these people could stick with one ID. Really, one ID is enough to contain all the superfluous language and condescending attitude.

Me too, TSC. It amazes me how some people either don't have enough GUTS to say what they want to, or else they want to have multiple accounts to cause trouble.

What really amazes me is that you guys catch them so quick!!!

They should KNOW that there are people on this site that can catch "style" in a hurry.

I wish TD would run ISP's on New Members to make sure people ARE who they SAY that they are.

Shady people are going to be shady. He can be one person on his home PC, another on his laptop, another at work, another on his kid's computer, and another from his iPhone. I just keep adding the trolls to my ignore list. At first I was against it, but now I love it. It is like a remote control for the forums! Ignore is a lot like Mute!

I'm not sure if that would work--sometimes I use my company laptop, but (as I am right now) sometimes I use a library computer. So, how would you really know? Also, what about a married couple who used the same computer?

There's a little witch in all of us...

It's just a matter of time before they choke each other. I know whereof I speak.

Well, I'm not married, but there is a guy that lives here and uses this computer... I don't like how sometimes when I come on the TD Forums it says I am not logged in, and then if you post it just logs you right in as whoever was logged in last! Me and the BF have both posted as the other person and then had to delete, logout, login and repost - so if ya'll see a post pop up that doesn't really look like something I'd say and then dissappear and pop up again under another poster's ID (or vice versa), it isn't that one person has multiple personalities, it is one PC with multiple users!
