According to the official city announcement, the Mayor and Council will be voting on a proposed 5.7% increase in the real property tax rate ($0.5560 per $100 of assessment). The County Council has proposed a 4.8% hike, despite promising they would not raise property taxes.

"I'm a taxpayer, what are you?"
ReplyDeleteNo you're not, Robbie. LOL
And your evidence for that defamatory claim is...?
DeleteOh, chill, Robbie. I didn't claim that you had evaded taxes. Just that you've never needed to pay any, since you've never had a job or owned a house.
DeleteAnd your evidence for that is...?
DeleteThe fact that you've never listed an actual job you've had.
Delete11:28: Most people don't list their jobs online for privacy reasons, and you can't prove a negative. So it's up to you to provide evidence I've never had a job, moron.

ReplyDeleteYou got it wrong, once again.
The proposed City of Takoma Park budget includes an actual increase in the tax RATE. The Montgomery County budget proposes to decrease the tax rate slightly. The announced "increase" is based on the expectation that the assessments of individual properties will rise. These are two completely separate issues.
9:30: False. Both jurisdictions are proposing a hike in the real property tax rate, of 5.7% and 4.8% respectively. It's in the legal announcements, compared to a disheveled MoCo cartel tool hunched over a computer in a dark room - you don't come off as much of an authority in that comparison.
DeleteAdvantage: Robert Dyer
Wrong. The County is proposing to reduce the real property tax rate:
Delete"[The County budget] proposes a property tax rate of $0.9786 per $100 of assessed value, slightly below the current RATE of 98 cents."
That's a decrease of 1.43% in Montgomery County's real property tax RATE.
You still don't understand the distinction between "tax RATE" and "assessment".
10:55: False. The official legal announcement the Council is required to publish shows not only an increase in what homeowners will pay, but also a 4.8% increase in the real property tax rate.
DeleteIt's a legal document issued by the Council. I printed photographs of the actual document on this blog. You have no credibility claiming an alternative that doesn't exist outside of your mind.
This is what your out-of-context thumbnail clippings from the Montgomery Sentinel (unattributed, as always) actually say:
Delete"The County is considering not reducing its real property tax rate enough to offset increasing assessments."
12:09: That's called a tax increase, and was the whole point of my article. Great job, Pythagoras.
Delete12:09: And a County document prepared and printed using taxpayer funds is public, and cannot be "unattributed," dumbass.
DeleteYou still don't get it. There is no increase in the RATE. In fact, it's been reduced for two years in a row, and is proposed to be reduced again in the next fiscal year.
DeleteAlso, that is not a "County document". That is a notice from the County that was published in a local newspaper, which you did not attribute.
2:59: You're claiming property taxes were less two years in a row? Demonstrably false. They have gone up every year this decade except 2014. #FakeNews
DeleteI printed actual photographs of the County notice, dumbass. No newspaper had any role in production of the County notice.
You still don't understand what the word real property tax RATE means. There has been no increase in the RATE, it has actually been reduced during the past two years, and is proposed to be reducced again.
DeleteThe actual notice from the County is in standard 8.5"x11" format, single column per page. Your little crib sheets are from newsprint. This is from a local newspaper which you have failed to attribute.
9:02: False. The real property tax rate will be increased 4.8%, according to the Council's OWN ANNOUNCEMENT. Their notice is publicly-funded, and does not belong to any newspaper, and therefore does not have to be attributed to any newspaper, dumbass.
DeleteProperty taxes have gone up EVERY YEAR except 2014. You are flat-out lying.
Hey, isn't that Mayor Pete Buttigieg in that photo?
ReplyDeleteRetard doesn't know how to read taxes or how they work he has only paid sales tax, he lives in moms basement don't waste your time telling him
