Teh STUPID - Fairfax County Edition
Apr. 15th, 2010 03:27 pmSo..last week I got my tax assessment. It was ridiculously high given the current state of the economy. And so, I figured that I really ought to appeal it. Thanks to
lionessindc (the most delicious) and a couple of clicks, I was at the assessment page where I dutifully filled in some comps (thanks to
bluejai the most helpful) and went to prove to them that their assessment was all kaflooey because my house is in "needs serious help" state, the land is in "please stop the trees from falling down and destroying what's left of the house" shape, and all that stuffs.
So I filled in all the appropriate blocks, and got to the end page, where they showed me where they had found information to calculate the assessment from. Did you know I have a summer house, an elevator and an indoor pool? Wow! I didn't either! Seems I have an extra bedroom too! I have a second kitchen, and it looks like a second garage too (one attached, one detached...who knew?). Don't forget the carport and the tool shed.
Are they on CRACK?
Just noticed they have it down as a 1 story home. I wonder where that elevator goes to? Is it my direct elevator to HELL?
"Dear Fairfax County. I have paid the tax. Please provide my new bedroom, summer house, indoor pool, second kitchen, second garage, carport, tool shed, and indoor hot tub. Thanks"
