People put taxes on credit cards? is that even allowed?[/quote]
I paid my property taxes last week. I hate, hate, hate it.[/quote]
Ha, ha, I always go in in person and pay a few days before they’re due to get a receipt and avoid the lines (I live very close to an assessor branch).
In front of me in line last week was this tall, early 70’s dude who walked up to the counter with a $$$ western hat on and $$$$ western boots on and opened up a zipped leather portfolio. Inside was a business checkbook with 3 long checks to a page. He pulled a sheaf of tax bills out of the right-hand pocket (abt 3/4″ thick) with a “master check” and “itemized” list prepared by his bookkeeper attached to the front of the bills to pay the whole collection of them and handed the whole mess over to the clerk. The clerk said, “Sir, can I get your name, phone number and e-mail address? We’re going to have to have someone in the back personally take care of you and e-mail you with a receipt for each bill.”
He pulled out a business card, gave it to the clerk and was on his way.
He was probably paying in the neighborhood of $150-$200K just for his second FY ’15/16 installment. Just like in the casinos, the “high rollers” get “special treatment” at the assessor’s office :=D
