 Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:13 am Post subject: 77% Reduction in Real Estate Tax on Mobile Home |
 |
|
OVER TAXATION OF MOBILE HOMES ON RENTED LOTS
It’s Official, just a few days ago I received the results of my Appeal, from the Assessment Office. My Total Real Estate Taxes have been reduced a little over 77%, that’s a substantial and permanent decrease. Total Taxes for 2008 are $1090.72, they would only be $248.23 if the reduction was effective for this year. This is NOT a misprint, my Taxes have been reduced by $842.49 per year. I appealed this year 2008 and the changes are effective for the 2009 tax year.
This is NOT an isolated case, The facts are that Mobile Homes (both single & double-wides) depreciate approximately 5% each year and condition of the mobile home can increase or decrease this percentage. With no land to appreciate while the mobile home depreciates, the assessed value of the mobile home can only go down as long as no major improvements have been made. The over taxation basically happens because the assessment office makes no automatic deduction to the assessed value for the yearly depreciation of mobile homes. This is a county wide issue and ALL mobile homes on rented lots fall into this category.
The above property is a 10 year old Double-wide mobile home in average condition on a rented lot located in Tuscarora School District, Saint Thomas Township, Franklin County, PA. This mobile home has never been previously appealed or had any improvements.
I have successfully Appealed my over taxation and significantly reduced my taxes. I suggest everyone, on a rented lot, do the same (details on website). It costs nothing to Appeal!
**NOTICE**: Because of the holiday ALL Appeals that are hand delivered must be in by Friday, August, 29th. Not sure if they accept Appeals postmarked by September 1, call your local assessment office to check. Phone number in Franklin County PA is 717-261-3801. September 1 is the deadline each year to submit Appeals to Assessment Office. Any changes made to your taxes take effect the following year. You ONLY have a few days left this year to submit your appeal!
Double-wide Owners have to Appeal (details on website). Single-wide Owners ONLY have to call the Assessment Office, then they figure your new assessed value. You should followup (details on website).
Get Free Details online at www.bitemetaxman.com this website will help you reduce taxes. I can be contacted thru the website.
Regards,
R E Christman

THE PUBLIC OPINION TOOK THIS TOPIC OFF THE FORUM LIST FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BECAUSE OF A SPAM COMPLAINT!
THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR THE PERSON PAYING 4 TO 5 TIMES TO MUCH IN REAL ESTATE TAX!
SO REPORT IT AGAIN FOR BEING SPAM, JUST TO SEE IF IT COMES DOWN.

Stop shouting, eh?
Furthermore, your link doesn't work.

Please respect the forum and practice good online etiquette. These things aren't worth getting too worked up about.
Although the biteme link does work for me.
rechristman, your post looks, feels and smells like Spam. You appear to be a representative of "bitemetaxman." |

Why did you leave 2 meaningless comments on this topic, before it was taken down, then come back for more? If you want someone to rule, you can try another topic, not here!
Funny that you would assume that I'm shouting at you, EH? This is a shout out to the people that need the information and thats ALL Real Estate Taxpayers! If shouting is the price of progress, I'm up for it.
Futhermore, the link works fine, the problem is on your end!
For you to take the ID Torgo, which is the name of the servant to the master of a pagan devil-worshiping cult, is beyond me, but speaks volumes about you. The symbol you use in your posts is also a devil-worshiping cult advertisment. Thats what the Public Opinion should take down.
Have a good one, because I will!

Coppy, Coppy, Coppy, WOW, look in a mirror, you don't respect or practice good etiquette. Your comment in the Letter to the Editor, that people in mobile homes are poor and oh yea, they should sell there 30k truck is just one of your typical comments, what can I say. Well, I can say this, you just don't understand the issue and don't care and thats OK with me. But then to run your YAPPER and make off-hand comments like that is is is.... you can fill in the dots. OK, Coppy leaned his/her head a little to far to the side and his/her brain rolled out his/her EAR HOLE! Congrats Coppy you are now officially qualified to become a politician.
Coppy do me a favor, multiply your Real Estate Tax Bill times 4 and pay it for 3 years. Thats what I did on the advice and calculations from the assessment office.
If getting the word out about this is a crime, I am as guilty as H E DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS. The County Commissioners and assessment office feel NO need to notify anyone on this issue!

You are obviously "aware of all Internet traditions."

I never said you were shouting at me, just that you were shouting in general, like a rude, spoiled child.
You sound like the private sector equivalent of those non-profits that make every attempt to game the system, usually successfully, and thereby make the tax burden heavier for the rest of us.

I'm guessing that the things that are beyond you could fill a warehouse.
The fact that you assume you know anything about me based on an Internet forum handle and piece of avatar art likewise speaks volumes about you.

He's not a troll. He's just overly excited about his minor victory.

LMAO at Torgo, blah, blah, blah, thats what you do. You have NOT made one meaningful comment on the issue. You assume many things and if I do the same, you say who do you think you are, yea great come back. Just like your other comments off-hand, meaningless and not based on facts.
Thanks for confirming your devil-worshiping ID & avatar symbol, I know you say it's nothing let you, well let me guess you probably did it on a DOUBLE-DOG DARE type of thing, EH! Yea right!
What victory, there is no victory, just right & wrong.
At any rate I'll not waste my time on you anymore! Comment away!
By the way get your girlfriend a cookie. |

Aww, he's picking up his ball and going home. A pity... I was so looking forward to more nonsensical gibberish.

I have an odd question: Since when do mobile home owners pay real estate taxes o rented properties?
Maybe this is true but I never thought it would but I have not lived in one so I am unsure how it works.
