The most ridiculous thing about this is that our garbage service out here is very cheap, like $100ish per year. I told my wife we could just pay for their garbage service if we knew they'd actually put it out by the road.

Wish I had that for a business I have. Just have my small dumpster jacked up to 160+ per month for once a month pickup. Looking at buying a small dump trailer and telling the workers to just let me know when it’s full and I will take it to the landfill. I took a trailer and pickup load to the landfill last week and it was 50 some bucks. WM is soaking me there.
I am hoping Curt gets to buy it cheap so he can build a bigger racing building.
You telling me that size matters? That a bigger building we’ll make him a better racer?
disabled veterans have to have a 100% permanent rating........one of the few perks I have for almost dying lol
If I build a new shop it's going to be by a paved road, the gravel just kills my hauler
Pretty certain they can't take the "shape" of the property into account. Assessed value purely based on structure and size, not on the condition of it.
I honestly don't understand how Polk County comes up with their assessments sometimes. My previous house was assessed significantly more than my neighbors who had comparable homes all built in the same era and some almost identical floor plans too. For instance I had a neighbor right across the street from me with the exact same house and lot size but for some reason I was assessed about 20k more than his was. Only thing I could think of was recent sales on my house and he had lived in his for awhile. I challenged the assessment the first year I owned it because they tried to assess the value at like 10k more than I had just bought it for and they adjusted it down to the sale price basically but I presented about half a dozen houses on my block, some that had just sold the same time mine had that were sold for more than I paid for but assessed significantly lower plus 2 other houses nearly identical to mine that were not comparable either. I got no explanation from the assessors office or board I had to meet with to file my protest of the assessment raise why that was.
Probably some BS calculation that without someone coming out and doing an in person value appraisal of the property stuff like this is going on where some place is significantly under or over assessed value because no one has ever challenged it. Another reason why I will never vote to raise sales taxes with the promise of lower property taxes because that is easily manipulated by raising everyone's assessments to compensate for the lower tax rate so you are going to pay for it 1 way or another anyways.

I was able to find that the guy is a veteran. That would explain it.
Everyone has an open invitation to fish, I just ask that people give me notice first. Not really any where to hunt since it's so open.
Yes and both are stocked - bass, blue gill, crappie and even some catfish. lots of turtles and frogs too lol
Really depends. If it’s a newer house with just junk inside it probably wouldn’t change much. If there’s now mice issues, roof neglected, damage etc. then it would be lower.
And you're down by Baxter/Newton? I may hit you up this winter for ice fishing. (I never have time to go ice fishing though
