[RP TownTalk] 2007 property taxes: +26.8%

[Dwight Holmes]

I found our new property tax bill online at this URL:
http://tax-acct-info.goprincegeorgescounty.com/PropertyTaxes/TaxInquiry.aspx

We'll be paying $99.70 more per month this year than last.

Riverdale Park taxes still represent 33% of the total bill, same as
last year (before homestead tax credit).

In our case, as new homeowners with no homestead exemption this year,
Rob's estimate was more or less correct: 26.8% increase over last
year.  The county portion went up 14.6%, the town portion 15.0%.  I
guess we got grandfathered in to the previous owner's exemption last
year for the partial year after we bought it(?) because we did benefit
from a homestead tax credit last year, but no such luck this year!
Having no exemption this year results in a total bill 26.8% higher
than last year's.

Your mileage may vary.
