I actually like mine. I know, that sounds weird. She doesn’t doo the assessments. All she does is collect the taxes for county and municipal, which are billed separately from the school taxes. Tried to pay mine online on the last date to get a 2% discount from face value. FUBAR.
Anyway, I finally went in to see her in person during her office hours. Explained the situation ahead of time via some traded emails, and when I showed up, I brought all my documentation. I knew I was going to get stuck paying face value on the bill, for the fuck-up. Yup, I did, but all I owe them is another $45.95. I’ll walk in there in person to cut another check for the balance.
Can’t wait until I get my bill for three times that for school taxes. Happens every year. I will march into the office to deliver that check in person. It’s at least three times the amount of our county/muni ones.
Our municipal tax collector is basically an accountant. She has to check with her county overlords. FWIW, she’s fine. She just wants to book the right amount, and I want to pay the right amount. And, she’s incredibly easy to deal with, compared to the ones I used to have when I lived elsewhere.
