Well, I got a nastygram from the county saying they are going to audit my boat's value over the last 3 years so I am paying the correct tax on it. I'm sure this is going to go well!

So, you have to pay a yearly tax on your boat? Is it used commercially?

Wow, hopefully it goes in your favor.
Yankee, it's a personal property tax (marine).

Worst part is that my son's boat is getting audited too. The one he built with his uncle for getting his eagle scout rank. There's no way these things ever go in your favor.

Go ahead and start reading up on how to contest their valuation. There should be some info about that on your county's website.
That's crazy that they're going back 3 years. Shouldn't they make sure the tax bill they send you every year is correct? Now you're getting penalized bacause someone else didn't do their job. I have no idea what's going on with your county's budget but it might be a good idea to get on the phone with your County Councilman and ask some questions.

That sucks and I'm glad they don't do that here. Do they expect you to be home, let them in your yard and give them the keys to the boats so they can come up with some sort of inflated guesstimate? Damn Dim-ocrats need more money to give away!  |

Not sure yet. Both boats are in a storage yard spot near my office, But if I end up getting screwed, I'm storing them across the river in AL and that will be the last marine property tax $ they get from me.

WTF? I can only imagine the pandemonium that would ensue if a dumbocrat tried to tax a boat in Louisiana. It (the dumbocrat) would get a one-way trip to a crab trap deep in the marsh.

I still haven't heard a peep on this. I wish they would hurry up so I can upgrade my electronics and trolling motor...

At 6 months, I'd bet they aren't coming

This is really dumb. I think they were just wanting to rectify their records on my son's boat he built with my brother for his eagle scout project so they can tax it. I am living in enemy territory as far as politics goes. Just gives me more time to research new electronics....
