Trying to fathom the true meaning of Engrish subtitles :banghead: :banghead:

3 sentences in a row by one character:

"Director of the mechanics in a forlorn"

"ls a life and death scene saw person"

"Rely on a hard surface is of no use"

That's supposed to mean.... ????

You didn't include that in your monthly payments? Oh, did you apply for a lowered property tax this year, btw?

i dont think he qualifies for a lowered prop tax... he's had his place for a while. at least that's how i understood it.

Nope.

That way I can hang onto the money until the last moment.

Lower?

Unlikely.

I thought your prop tax depends on the current value of the home?

:headscratch:

Actually, is based on the assessed value at the time of purchase or refinancing... And it's allowed to change based on the consumer price index, but no more than 2%.

Since I bought/refinanced before the price boom, the value of the house is still more than it's purchase/refinance value, so I get no reduction in taxes... Which is good, because the value is still more than what I owe.

Hmm, different to how it works here. Our land tax is based on the unimproved value of the land your house is built on... that way they can still sting you if you have an old house on a prime piece of land :grumble:

They sorta do that here too... But I don't know all the details.

It's complicated... Just like our income tax system.

By being so convoluted, it's easier for them to rip us off.

I know.. it reads something like

blah.... blah... blah... we have your money.. blah... blah.. .blah... money... blah... blah... home value... blah... blahh... blaaaaaaaahhhhh.,.

I just know that we're paying lower property taxes this year. We're bound to get a check in the mail pretty soon.
