Property Taxes are almost due
‘Tis the season! Property taxes are almost due, and though it is very nerve racking to come up with three thousand dollars for Uncle Sam, I am also relieved. The sooner you send off those checks the better you will feel. The only thing that really bothers me is the fact that most of these major bills are due around Christmas time and if you are like me, and your property taxes are not compounded in your monthly mortgage, you will seriously go crazy until December 10th which is the official due date. technically I only have two weeks after that to Christmas shop and by that time, my credit cards are so maxed that I don’t even feel like shopping. So onse I purchase my next property I will definitely compound and be free, but until then I will be tortured at no end. The other problem with Orange County property taxes is the fact that they always go up, so my property may have lost fifty thousand dollars, but the taxes for it continue to rise…wow aren’t we lucky.
