[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by tangerine-jack</i> <br /><br />I just got a "friendly" visit from the Real Estate Assessor and much to my surprize[:0], my garden RR was valued as a "home improvement" to the tune of $17,500. Now I know my garden is very pretty, but 17.5G? "That's nuts" [:(]says I, "don't care" [:(!]says he. <br /> <br />Has anybody else out there dealt with this? Is there any way to convince city hall that it's only a garden, and please don't tax me for it? Does anybody want me to come by your home for 17.5G and build you a small RR? <br /> <br />[oX)] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I've got it!! Plant a hefty garden and then apply for a farm subsidy, then defer the cost by applying to the ICC as a shortline railroad. Then abandon the line, then reopen it and see if you state offers some incentive for railroad reclamiation.[:p]
