The two sure things. I had to pay the 2020 taxes on my home this morning. The bill comes once each year on the Monday before Thanksgiving at 8:00am. They will allow you to pay in two payments for a fee. I just rip off the bandage and get it over with. One lesson I learned very early on is to not mess with the tax man!

Everyone objects to the payment of taxes, but nobody objects to the services they receive as a result of those taxes.
Yet, it still sucks when you have to pay that bill.

We're usually out of the country this time of year -- so have to get the tax bills online and arrange for direct payment through the bank (not so this covid-filled year).
I agree with making payment in full now, when I've got the buck$ in the bank -- who knows what tomorrow may bring.

I pay them all at once too. My work as a municipal engineering consultant showed me, at least in the intermountain west, that local politicians will do just about anything to avoid raising property taxes.

I don’t think the tax rate increased this year but the property valuation went up 6% so bottom line, so did taxes.

My work as a municipal engineering consultant showed me, at least in the intermountain west, that local politicians will do just about anything to avoid raising property taxes. In theory, raising tax rates is not a viable long term solution to raising income. If you raise the rate repeatedly, eventually you'll reach 100%. Of course, things will go south long before that, but it illustrates the point. |

I don’t mind paying taxes but get frustrated with the IRS..
They have made three different mistakes on my taxes this year, all of which required a long phone call to resolve.
The last one was mistakenly sending me a check from the US treasury for $76000...
Please try harder IRS.

I once heard someone say “taxes are the price you pay for a civilized society”
When not abused I totally agree
