All one has to do is write the change on the face of the tax bill. Change of addresses' has been a problem in the Treasurer's Office for a long time. Now we are receiving the new addresses of property owners about a week after they record their deeds. The problem ^should lessen as time goes on* Q. I think my taxes are too high. Should I pay them under protest? A. It depends on why your taxes are too. high. If your assessment has been increased this past year and you think it's too high, you should file a complaint with the Board of (Assessment) Review. If you think your local tax districts (including schools) have been operating illegally and therefore you have been overtaxed, you should probably pay under protest. Q. What happens if I pay under protest? A. First of all, the money will be held in an escrow account by the Treasurer's office. None will be distributed to local governmental bodies. Then in the fall you will have to file suit against the tax bodies whose tax rates you believe to be illegal. In two years or so you might get a small refund. Q. I hear that most people don't pay their personal property taxi Is that true? A. It is demonstrably false. Almost 90 per cent of those billed last year have paid. And, as Car as money goes, almost' 95 per cent of it has been collected. Those who do pay end iq> subsidizing their neighbors who don't pay, however. That's why,the Treasurer's Office sues everyone who does not pay. Q. Why didn't you put the date the bills would be due on your rate sheet? A. Because we didn't know when we would get the last Mils in the mail. We did quote state law to the effect that bills cannot be considered delinquent until 30 days after they are mailed out. Q. How much interest is charged on delinquent taxes? A. 1 per cent per month ( 12 per cent a year). Ifs less that is charged by the Midwest Bank Cards, but it's still ft, lot.
