I called up county earlier this week, to find out how much mine, and my daughters property taxes will be this year. They have no idea. The lady on the phone at the Assessors office said they did not have the figures yet, and that we will not know until the paper bill comes out.
Property taxes are due in a month and a half, by May 10th. I know they are going up, partially because of the one item on the water bill in Hammond being raised 500% and put on the tax bill. I, as a fixed low income senior citizen, need to know the amount to prepare for.
My daughter and her family, all 6 of them, are low income, and need to know so they can put some money on the side also.
I guess the county thinks people can just pull money out of the thin air, and pay their property tax bill.
