Looking to hear from any locals on the 2016 property tax situation in Pulaski.
Just got my City/county tax bill and it DOUBLED from last year even though the appraisal is about the same.
Is this area wide or am I seeing some kind of error.
 Would appreciate some info before I call into the Tax office in Pulaski - nice to be a bit educated first.
Kinda recall someone mentioning something a few weeks back on this but since my appraisal only changed a hundred dollars or so I never thought anything like a 200% increase would happen.
If this is areawide on top of no fish Pulaski is in for some 'issues'.
Imagine the price of a local room or meal next year--lol.
Seems am getting out just in time.

Mine went up about $15.  What is you tax rate?  According to my bill the county tax is -5.3 % from last year, so your actual county tax should have went down. I would venture your town tax and highway tax went up. Compare  these to last year.  My highway went up 79%.  You should have a change from last year column on your bill.
 

Trev I can't see how they would've doubled... sounds like a mistake.

As for the fishery and the hotel rates... let 'em crash and burn!!! Lol

This would be about right if School tax is added in. They were always very similar.
There is a reference on the billing to a 'school relevy'-whatever that means and its bout half of the billing.
Are they putting the two together now ???
They always  come several months apart and were clearly separate.
 

Re-levy sounds like unpaid from the year before trev... i'do get on the horn first thing tomorrow to straighten this out

Thanks Andy - paid the school tax  months back so no-Re  should be on there.

Trev, pm scent

Yea, you got a mistake there if it says that.

It may well be a misunderstanding on what to pay before closing- Kept up with the 2015 billings but may NOT have sent in any billings for 2016- like the school billing a couple of months back.
Have to check on that.
Lawyer said not to pay for future taxing as it would all be cared for at closing in a couple of weeks.
At any rate am not paying anyone anything now as the posting dates may be in doubt for the rapidly upcoming closing where it all comes out in the wash.
Thanks for the input guys.
As the school billing is always separate and months different in mailing from property taxes this bill threw me- think I have it nailed.
