Converse Taxes & How you can lower them!

I don't have a vote on Converse City Council this year but we can still work together to lower our taxes as we've done in recent years.  Did you know that our 2007 Converse Tax Rate of 0.54 was the third highest city out of all of Bexar County (21 cities to be exact) - not exactly the distinguished honor we are looking for.  The best tax rate is 0.093525 with the average being .3931, we know are city is significantly greater than 37% above average, but frankly I really would like to keep as much of my money in my pocket as I can.  How can you lower your tax this year ??? - only one way remains as the deadline to fight your property value assesed on your home has already passed.  See details by clicking the highlighted link http://www.bcad.org/PDFs/nop.pdf .  You need to tell your Converse City Council Members how to vote as I will during the meeting next Tuesday, August 19th in addition to the scheduled public hearings on this topic on August 22nd and August 29th before Converse City Council sets the rate (currently they are proposing up to .52).  Visit City of Converse's official web site to see where their priorities are.  I'm going to establish a special section for Converse Politics on this blog, and my hope is to keep it all positive (when you have a concern, you will need to share your solution to it to be published here).  Send me an email to sign up for posting on this topic and look for updated info after most council meetings.
