In addition to requirements of the States Code, Some City Council has set policies regarding the designation of ERAs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4928844353937774827-8951634398845921812?l=religionnon-profitsinitiatives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>tnwaozuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02867074756654864137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928844353937774827.post-2109006163861962007-11-07T08:35:00.000-08:002007-11-07T08:41:47.165-08:00<span style="font-family:arial;">First you file a F.O.I.A. " Freedom of Information act." File it with your taxing board. (Township, city, county or state) The question you ask is; "Requesting to see the records of property that is now or in the past that have received tax abatements." Pick out the ones that have been given the most and the longest time. Get copies of the ones you want. There may be a charge for copying. They, by law have to give you the information.<br />Now that you have the copies in your hand, copy the first five or six pages of each of the U.S. Supreme Court cases in this section or any other ones you may find elsewhere. Read these cases very carefully, you will have to know what they mean. They are cases where the Supreme Court has said, they cannot do for one and not the other. You are the other. Get copies of the Fifth and Fourteenth amendment, they refer to this. If you do not understand them, get someone to help you who does. Now make two copes of all the documents you have. The copies will go to the tax assessor. One for the assessor and the other for their attorney. You now have the material you need to get your tax abatement. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Go to the taxing authority and confront them with what you have. Ask for the rebate of your choice. Give them copies of material you have collected.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4928844353937774827-210900616386196?l=religionnon-profitsinitiatives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>tnwaozuruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02867074756654864137noreply@blogger.com0
