Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 wheels

[jashburne (jashburne]

Around here in CT they just adjust the mill rate to stay revenue neutral if 
values go down.

We get appraised every 5 years and this time they want to see how many protest 
the new valuations before they set the new mill rate.

My property taxes have gone up for 20 straight years.

Well, they DO go down if they're based on %-value of your home, and your home 
value plummets (cough - 'housing bubble' - cough).  The re-assessment adjusters 
are gonna be busy this winter....here in Taxachussets, home values have dropped 
AND here in Worcester the Property tax has actually dipped a few pennies.
 
On the wheel note, BBS had a nice gold mesh-spoke wheel available (would need 
refinishing, but a full set turns up on ebay fairly often for not-much $$$), 
and Nick's Forza also has a set available for the TRX-shod cars....not a fan of 
the Nick's Forza design, but it does fit and offers a 'lip' if you like that in 
a wheel (which I do).  I just don't care for the spoke design.  I believe 
Nick's Forza does NOT need a wheel spacer, whereas SuperPerformance's wheels do 
(but are included with-purchase).

That's always the key question isn't it?  Two things about property
taxes:  they never go down and they never go away.

What would the property tax as a percent of market value on a  home?  If
it's lower than your federal tax sheltered state income tax plus your sales
and property tax in your old state, you come out ahead.

Sorry not trying hijack.

Having attempted such a similar thing myself, one finds out that NH may not
have sales taxes, they have a KILLER property tax.  One that's higher than
MA's.  As a result, some of my friends are reverse-migrating to MA just to
get away from NH taxes.  
 
Regarding wheels, some of my local 308 cohorts have purchased the
SuperPerformance repro-rims for the 308 and love them in price and looks, which
allow for 16" tire selection without the Four-Digit $$$ outlay for OEM 308
QV/328 rims.  Oh, and the SuperPerformance rim purchase also includes free OEM
Wheel Center Caps.....normally a $150 extra cost.

Same thing has happened in New Hampshire with all the people moving up from
Mass. To lower their taxes.  They get there and start clamoring for all of the
programs and taxes they wanted to get away from.

The GPS thing is something that Gov. Taxngougeski wants.  I doubt
it will pass, but you never know.

This used to be an ultra conservative state, but ever since the Kalifornicators
have been moving here, it's getting more like SanFran every day.
