Property Taxes

I got hit with a bill for outstanding 2005 property taxes last week to the amount of $452. The city reappraised the value of my property and realized that the $190 paid for 2005 wasn't enough. Since I had taken possession of the apartment Nov 1, that's a lot of cash for just 2 months of owning the property.

I talked to my notary who handled all the adjustments, and he talked to the notary for the seller, who agreed to pay for all of the outstanding 2005 property taxes. Nice. That's half my plane ticket to Thailand.
