EDITOR:
Everything in this article is going to be ‘my opinion only.’
Un poco de humor de tasación para Weston que he recogido: Los tasadores tasaron un edificio de ladrillos en Main Street que estaba cubierto de hojalata con un patrón de ladrillos.
En otro ejemplo, sin saber cómo viven los rudos, los tasadores desconocían un negocio sin aire acondicionado. Probablemente hay más que estas dos historias.
En el condado de Platte, Weston y Dearborn nunca fueron comparables con Parkville o Platte City. Por supuesto, en 1968, Platte City y Weston eran muy comparables en tamaño. Eso en sí mismo te dice un poco sobre Weston.
Mucha gente del pueblo nunca quiso que Weston explotara y creciera mucho. Eso en sí mismo podría ser una señal de falta de liderazgo, ya que lleva a que unos pocos paguen una mayor parte de los gastos de la ciudad debido a la falta de anexión (para protección) y ayuda a distribuir la carga en un costo cada vez mayor de hacer negocios.
The Hancock Amendment, around for a good while, may be Weston’s saving grace. I believe Hancock was a very intelligent Republican who was able to see down the road.
Weston is a tourist town which makes it a museum for many tourists. Nothing wrong with that as tourism fairly much saved Main Street in Weston. Keep in mind that according to most city figures, sales tax dollars generated in Weston come from roughly 25% downtown and 75% from the Hwy. 45 corridor. That in itself should tell you, as a wise individual and the city itself, where survival lies. How many businesses lie a stone’s throw away from the city limits. That also should tell the city leadership where problems start and why.
Un alcalde de Platte City me dijo una vez que Platte City no quería ser como Weston, quizás algún mérito allí.
With the appraisals on Weston city real estate, how far away is the assessor from taking a stab at Platte County agricultural land prices? The assessor’s office had all it could do dealing with towns this year.
Many investors come to Weston for their pre-retirement years. They may pay too much for their investment because they have it. It very seldom shows a true picture of what a building is worth. In this case, they might have been ‘fleeced’ by the assessor’s office and what something sells for. We are all living in a time when every thing we buy costs too much. I am sure that the assessor’s office knows how this works in the other direction.
For the time being, this assessor mess can probably be fixed best in Jefferson City. It certainly isn’t going to get fixed in Platte City.
Tiene un gobernador que es un poco receptivo al cambio, tiene un representante estatal que promueve los aumentos 15% frente a los aumentos 200%, y tiene un senador estatal que sin duda puede ser contactado. Más tarde tienes elecciones.
Not every thing is equal in the assessor business. It you watch the news at all you see the problems in Jackson County and their deadline for appeals was extended to July 31. You also saw how Platte County assessor’s office approached that announcement.
Worth noting, my opinion only with brick buildings bricks were supposed to be able to breathe. Yesterday I drove around Platte City and I found many brick buildings that could breathe. In Weston’s down town and antebellum homes I found may brick buildings that couldn’t breathe even if an accessor thinks they look pretty. I personally think that a painted brick building should have an assessment rolled back from $50,000-$100,000
Diferencia de opiniones, supongo. Diferencia en las ciudades, supongo. Los ladrillos Weston se fabricaron en el sitio y son ladrillos blandos hechos por esclavos.
