Please, when considering the change in the rates for pmrerty tax, also consider snaking the
`playing fadld" l~vrl. VVlflacl du we mean by this stalr[nent?
1. I'hc hornrowncts elassi~c'ation i5 ripe fur fraud. Thcrc arc residence hoincownors that
derive sc~mc furrn ul~income fmm their property (ex~nple: partial rental) that also
clltim ~e exemptiom leading to the louver ta.Y raft. 'The notice that appears on the
tax notic.cs and iri the newspapers about changing tlseir homeowra~rs status under
such circumstances, fulls far short of enforcement of this provisaola of the low.
2. 'T'he pria:lice declic:aating a portion of an Al;, parcel to agrirulturul ease where the
actual use is totally rrsidcntlalq is also a fraud iai a number is casa°s. Aia extreme
example. t.irte acre lot with one halt in lawn ~lnd the lttwrt is classified "sod" for
agricultural purposes. "Come on"~!!
~Vc have no objection to a rr.asonablc prupt'rty tax iri«.~asc~ but arc strongly vppusul lv an
incrra.~ i!' the above abuses ~ permitted to continue. They have gcine on fur yeaers, node is the
tinge to correct this irnhalance,
Thank you for your itnmediute considera4ion,
