Whether or not you have childrenin school, or did have them at one

taxes.


Don't despair. Maybe he will graduate soon. Or at least he can get a
high school equivalency certificate.

Are senior citizens exempt from state school taxes in your state?


I had the impression in at least one state, they paid a lower property
tax rate.

YOUR STATE!!!!!! Ever hear of the STAR program in NY?

Yes, and I do use it. Maybe you should read the line that I was
questioning? about PROPERTY taxes? You, see, 'STAR' stands for "School TAx
Relief ", not "PROPERTY": tax relief, else it would be PTAR, which
wouldn't make sense, unless it was pronounced somewhat like pteradactyl,
where the P would be silent, but I digress.
They are separate taxes where I live in NY. I pay both property taxes and
school taxes.

And an adult community pays property tax and very little school tax. Why is
that different from what you are paying?
