Reply to comment by DCFishingGuy in Henrico County proposes real estate tax credit for 2nd year in a row by Charlesinrichmond

I mean this tax credit is nice but it's almost nothing. It's not that enticing.

It's not the amount of money. It's the whole attitude of "hey, guys who voted us in. We're managing your county so well that we don't need the extra funds brought in by crazy house prices so we're giving it back to you."

I wonder what the expense involved in these rebates is for the county offices involved. Sending out lots of small checks is a dubious use of limited resources in the mind of this former public servant.

I send my trash and water payment to a third party payment processor. Maybe they handle fund disbursements as well.

It's like getting a very small tax cut that you barely notice.

Its more the fact they can run things effectively with the money they get vs City of Richmond who is always looking to raise taxes and we get 2nd world country services.

We also have a 41% higher tax rate as it is to Henrico County so yeah this individual refund ain't much but that plus lower taxes plus better services. That adds up big time

So you'd rather both pay higher real estate taxes and get no rebate?

Yeah, that makes logical sense. You're getting hosed by Richmond City at both ends.

Edit: I'm always amazed when I edit a comment I just made on a 13 hour old comment and the butthurt OP has already down voted it within 30 seconds. Do you people just live on Reddit?

I live in Henrico. I'm just saying it's almost nothing. We pay for it in other ways like always having to drive places and little to do.
