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

from statel school taxes, at least, not here in NYS. I'm 72, and the

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?
Well, my area allows children, and even pets. Let's go back to the
original message and start over, shall we?

And you don't have adult communities in your area?
