I don’t recall my mortgage ever including the payment of property taxes. Isn’t it always the responsibility of the home owner to pay them?

Interesting you should mention that, because I am positive that I had applied for (and been approved for) the homestead exemption a number of years ago, but looking at the property website, it doesn’t appear on the prior years’ tax amounts as a reduction. When I filled out the application back in November, it was only because I saw someone post about it, and thought there’d be no harm in submitting the form.

Thanks for the tip. In my experience, calling any city office is a royal PITA. Endless holds, endless transfers, disconnects, etc. Has your (or others') experience been different?

Yeah, I had noticed that. It's the same $80,000 amount. It would be nice if it in some way labeled it as related to the Homestead Exemption, though. LOL...I swear to God....this city! LOL

This made me snicker.

Are you wearing earbuds/headphones when you’re listening to the white noise? I don’t, and personally I feel that the noise is ambient enough that it’s not going to cause any problems. But to each their own.

My trick is to use my Amazon Echo Dot for the same thing. I just say, “Alexa, ask Sleep Sounds to start brown noise.” (Yes “brown” noise—it’s a bit lower in tone, and works best for me.)

Actually, just saying, “Alexa, start brown noise.” works, as well.

Thank you!!!! Was it in that grassy area where there are also a couple basketball courts?

Ahhhhh…sorry. I looked at “New” posts first,but must have missed it.

I hear the music now, too.

Yeah, it’s gotta be somewhere near the art museum side of the city.

3 1/2 years seems like a really light sentence to me.
