When you live on expensive property, you pay property tax mostly based
on
the market value (assessment). Is this not the case where you live?


Property tax is also reduced if one is 65 or older.


It is? Everywhere?

Gee that covers a large percentage of the population of the US, doesn't
it?


Actually, as far as proerty tax relief for those over 65 it does not. Can
you
figure out why? It's REALLY tricky!

I've got my thinking cap on but nothing is happening!

Let me try to understand what you are saying - are you saying that even
though there is property tax relief on the lawbooks for those over 65 it is
really not property tax relief?

Help me on this one Krusty, the propeller is spinning on my thinking cap but
no sparks are flying. At least give me a clue. You know I love trick
questions.
