Argh!
I pay taxes for a piece of the “ancestral homelands” that I inherited in another state. Nothing impressive. Just a bunch of rocks and trees. My car is worth more.
The taxes come at different times in the year – school taxes and state property taxes. School taxes were due Feb. 2nd this year (for those of us who like to pay ‘in full’). But I thought it would get there late so I sent in the payment + interest (the tax bill had that info in it.)
And I JUST got it back. With a note from the tax collector saying she couldn’t take it because it was more that the exact amount owed. Argh. Apparently, it wasn’t received late.
She couldn’t keep it for a day or two and save me a stamp?
Because now it IS late and the amount I originally sent is now the correct amount. I just hope she takes it this time so I don’t have to make arrangements for it to be payed in person.
