Multiply the result by 100, and then divide it by 2.268. That's the amount you're actually paying taxes on. I'd be willing to bet that it's less than $116,000 in your case if you've lived in your house for a whi Property values went up by such a large degree during the credit bubble that it's going to take a long time for taxes to catch up, even with the recently lower assessments, since the tax can only rise by 4% per year with the homestead tax credit. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the credit done away with in favor of a much lower property tax rate for everyone.

The 10% figure is used for state tax purposes (if you look at your bill, you will see that it shows both a City tax and a State tax). And the counties and Baltimore City are allowed to use the 10% figure or to adopt a lower figure -- Baltimore City uses a 4% figure -- for local tax purposes. If you look at your tax bill, it shows a State tax rate of 0.112% and a City tax rate of 2.268% of the assessed value of your house, and it gives the State and City taxes based on your assessment and based on those rates, as well as a total tax. Those two numbers will be a lot less than they were last year because of the lower assessments. Those numbers reflect what you would pay if there were no homestead tax credit. The next two lines on the bill are a State assessment credit and a City assessment credit. Those lines represent how much you are saving because of the homestead tax credit. And the line after that is the net tax amount, which is how much you have to pay if you pay in August or September (you get your tax reduced by one half percent if you pay in July). Let me take my own house as an example. Six years ago, my house was assessed a little bit more than $83K. Three years ago, it was assessed for a little bit more than $255K, i.e. it a little bit more than tripled. This year, it was assessed for a little bit more than $178K. So, six years ago, five years ago, and 4 years ago, I paid a tax on $83K of assessment (actually, I paid less than that. because the $83K was an increase over the previous assessment, and that increase was phased in over 3 years). Then, three years ago, I paid an actual State tax based on an assessment of $83K * 1.10 and a City tax based on an assessment of $83K * 1.04. And I paid an actual tax that went up similarly each of the following two years. So last year, my actual State tax was based on an assessment of $83K * 1.10^3 =. $83K * 1.331, and my actual City tax was based on an assessment of $83K * 1.04^3 = $83K * 1.124864. These figures were way below the actual assessment of $255K (actually, that $255K was phased in over 3 years, but the phase-in did not affect the actual tax) For this year, my assessment went down to $178K (and an assessment decrease takes effect immediately rather than being phased in over 3 years as an increase would be). But my actual State tax is based on an assessment of $83K * 1.10^4 = $83K * 1.4641 = $121,520, which is much less than the actual assessment of $178K. And my actual City tax is based on an assessment of $83K * 1.04^4 =. $83K * 1.17 = $97K, which is also much lower lower than the actual assessment of $178K. The difference between a tax based on the actual assessment and the tax based on having the effective assessment go up each year by no more than 10% for State tax purposes and by no more than 4% for City tax purposes is the homestead tax credit shown on the bill as State assessment credit and as City assessment credit respectively.

thanks Steve. What is the homestead tax credit based on? Not % but the original figure used as the base?

Instead, it was about $2200. And this year, it would have been about $4250. Instead, it is about $2300. The point is that your tax goes up by slightly more than 4% per year (City tax goes up by 4%, and State tax, which is much smaller, goes up by 10%) until it reaches the amount the tax would be without the homestead tax credit. In your case, it may be that your assessment was much lower than 116K nine years ago, and in going up a little more than 4% each year, your tax still has not caught up with your 116K assessment. Your bill shows what you would pay without the homestead tax credit, and it shows how much the homestead tax credit is saving you (shown on the bill as City assessment credit and State assessment credit). Be glad you are getting some sort of break on your taxes. And feel sorry for those who have bought houses in the last several years. If they bought their houses at the height of the real estate bubble, they not only paid too much but they were assessed and taxed based on on what they paid.

Re: [Chat] prop taxhe 'homes
how depressing. seems like the name is a bit of a misnomer. credit= more money for me, not less. On 07/08/2011 02:13 PM, Joshua Fruhlinger wrote: If you're getting a homestead tax credit, your tax can only go up a little bit every year (I think 3 percent) as long as you stay in your home. But it will go up that amount until it hits the amount you'd pay without the credit. After the housing bubble in the mid-'00s a lot of property's assessed values went up so fast that people with the tax credit never caught up. For instance: Say in 2006 the assessment of your house doubled from 100K to 200K. Your theoretical tax would go from $2,268 to $4,356. But because of the homestead tax credit, your actual tax can't go up more than 3 percent a year. So in 2006 you'd owe $2,336, in '08 $2,406, and in '09 $2,478. Then in 2009 they reassess your value down, from 200K to 150K. Now your theoretical tax drops from $4,356 to $3,402. But because of the homestead tax, you aren't paying anywhere near even that reduced amount. So the tax you actually pay in practice in 2010 is still a three precent increase -- $2,552. Your actual tax bill would only go down if your house lost a lot more value -- if it were assessed at less than $112,500 or so, with these numbers. jf On Jul 8, 2011, at 1:59 PM, jberlin wrote: Have many people received property tax bills higher than last year even with the lower property assessment? ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/ ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/ ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/

Re: [Chat] trash cans
Mr Hill, I understand that no tax money is being used. The CVCBD is not a municipality. Since many municipalities are incompetent,I hope the CVCBD is not using them as an example of what to do. This is extravagance out of control. I am sure Witt Industries is reputable. They have been in business a long time,probably due to frivolous purchases. I cannot conceive of any rationale that would justify this waste of money. Sincerely, Judy Berlin David Hill wrote: Judy: No tax money is being used to purchase the cans; it is all being raised from foundations, businesses, and residents. To date, we have over $24,000. The most recent donation is from PNC Bank. The trash cans we are purchasing are made by Witt Industries a reputable American company in Ohio that has been in business for over 100 years. The particular cans we are purchasing are the Stadium Series described here: http://www.witt.com/Stadium-Series/2009/03/message-center.php As quality trash cans go, these are actually on the less expensive side at $600. Many municipalities spend far more as you can see from browsing this website and others. The trashcans you see in parks for example typically cost well over a $1000 each. I have attached the two page proposal I gave to the Board several months ago when I first put forward this idea and also a picture that compares the old and new cans; the new can was on loan from Stevenson University. I think my proposal pretty much explains the rationale. The first shipment of 15 cans will arrive in mid April hopefully just in time for the Mayor's Spring Cleanup.

Put it out in your own trash can on your respective trash and recycling pickup days. SAFETY TIPS: - Do not leave valuables in view in your parked vehicle. Take them with you or lock them in your trunk. - Light up the night! Leave your porch and back yard lights on. -Original Message- From: jberlin [mailto:jdy...@verizon.net] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 12:02 PM To: davidh...@charlesvillage.org; The Charles Village Chat List; Charles Village Discussion List; Mary Pat.

Why were they used. How much money was wasted on that ? I have to agree with Tweefie Millspaugh, sounds to much like a $700/toilet or the $900/hammer.

[Chat] trash
Hi everyone. The older I get the more confused I am. I'll be the 1st to admit that I am not up to date on present technology. Please help me understand what a $600. trashcan does. I'm sure it must have special features I have never been exposed to. Any info will be appreciated.

Re: [Chat] recycling
I'm guessing most people have alley pic up. I don't have an alley. My back faces vineyard lane, where cars park. One container, at present is behind my car. I know its there so I won't back into it. If not already done so I'll move it out of the gutter.I know it's my neighbor's container. Many people park on vineyard who are shopping on greenmount. This is becoming more complicated than it needs to be. The bottom line is don't throw my stuff around. I don't care where u set it so long as it is not in the gutter. judy On 03/03/2011 12:16 PM, Joshua Fruhlinger wrote: I imagine that they have way too much ground to cover in the course of the day to put them back exactly where they found them.

It also takes a special place to assign to dispose of the material. I am inquiring on ways and methods the residents can dispose of this material if the City not longer can deal with the material.

Re: [Chat] Chat Digest, Vol 86, Issue 6
thanks. I'm tired of the squirrels beating me to the peaches. On 08/16/2010 03:47 PM, macn...@gmail.com wrote: Judy: There are lots of things you can do with your excess peaches to use them later in the year, but preserving them in their natural state isn't one of them. As someone else answered, the cell structure won't hold up to home freezing. But somethings you can do: Peel and slice them and freeze the pieces for use as a puree or in smoothies, for example, where you'll still get the nice fresh taste and nutrients, but the mushy texture won't matter. Can them now in a simple syrup (sugar and water) with flavorings such as vanilla, bourbon or brandy to use with ice cream as a great dessert this winter. Make peach butter (like apple butter, but with peaches)cook them, spice them with cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. and can them for a spread all year -round. Make peach jam (similar to above, but without the spices and with the possible addition of some pectin to make a more jelly-like consistency). Dry them using a food dehydrator or your oven. Make peach chutney and freeze or can it. I've never been lucky enough to have a peach tree, but I used to do all of the above with bushel baskets of peaches from the farmers' market. It's really not hard and it's so nice to have come winter.

Re: [Chat] Aldi store has good prices
I know about giant. I shop there as little as possible. I find their sales insulting. I like the sales at Super Fresh, even tho their prices r higher. The sales make up for the higher prices. Last week Thomas's bagels were 1.99. Judy On 04/15/2010 02:28 PM, Stephen J Gewirtz wrote: Judy, If you believe that we should not shop at foreign owned supermarkets, then you will not shop at Giant. Giant was founded by a kosher butcher named Isidore Cohen who lived somewhere in the DC/Baltimore area, but before he died, he sold Giant to Royal Ahold which is a Dutch Company. After that, in my opinion, Giant went downhill. I have been told that Stop Shop, a chain in Massachusetts also acquired by Royal Ahold and now part of the same division of Royal Ahold as Giant, has also gone downhill in quality of service to customers. A few years ago, Royal Ahold was caught cooking its books i.e. pretending to be more profitable than it was. That involved stores in South America, not in the U.S. Personally, I will continue to shop at Giant for the things that I cannot readily get at the farmers' market. But I tend to buy a lot at Whole Foods (expensive often, I know, but worth it to me for the quality and for products that cannot be found at Giant or Eddie's, and Whole Foods is an American company), and I often go 3 blocks to Eddie's rather than 6 blocks to Giant. Safeway pulled completely out of Baltimore City some years ago, then moved back into the City when it opened its store in Charles Village. My impression is that its prices are higher than those at Giant. As much as I hate Walmart, I expect it to have a good effect on prices at Safeway. Giant reportedly lowered its prices because too many of its customers were driving to a Walmart. Steve.

If you don't have a dog, please pass along to friends who do. Written by: Laurinda Morris, DVM Danville Veterinary Clinic Danville, OH This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix that ate half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1 AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't call my emergency service until 7 AM. I had heard somewhere about raisins AND grapes causing acute Renal failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her bring the dog in immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard something about it, but... Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center and they said to give IV fluids at 1 1/2 times maintenance and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72 hours. He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values continued to increase daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting medications and they still couldn't control his vomiting. Today his urine output decreased again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure, which had been staying around 150, skyrocketed to 220 ... He continued to vomit and the owners elected to Euthanize. This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners who had no idea raisins could be a toxin. Please alert everyone you know who has a dog of this very serious risk. Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic. Many people I know give their dogs grapes or raisins as treats including our ex-handler's. Any exposure should give rise to immediate concern. Onions, chocolate, cocoa, avocadoes and macadamia nuts can be fatal, too. Even if you don't have a dog, you might have friends who do. This is worth passing on to them.

Lately over the past 4 or so years our sales at Rocky Run have slipped though and faced with continuous rising operating costs on our end, it has been a difficult time for us. After a lot of research, we have decided to try and do something with a fresh, clean new look and that was perhaps a better fit in the neighborhood in terms of a menu and price point. We are still a family friendly restaurant and will continue to pride ourselves on that. We have kept all of the foods on our menu that have done well for us over the years in terms of sales and guest satisfaction (ie. burgers, nachos, cheesesteaks, wings, salads, crab dip crab pretzel, etc. etc.. Some of the other items that were dropped were done so because either they had become cost prohibitive (ie. steak, ribs) or they just did not sell enough (ie. pasta, seafood) to warrant being on the menu. We have also dropped our prices on both food and beverages with the hope of being more attractive from that point of view.

Because this was the last straw in a long list of traffic accidents and dangerous conditions endured by residents along 28th Street for many decades (and they are getting worse every year), on behalf of Westside Neighbors I asked Dana Moore to have the CVCA sponsor a special meeting with City Transportation Department Officials, Northern District Police, Belinda Conaway and Mary Pat Clarke to discuss possible solutions to this problem. Surrounding neighborhood association presidents and their members will also be invited to participate. I wanted to have the meeting quickly so that the memory of what happened is fresh in everyone's memory because I believe it is symptomatic of a larger problem with traffic on 28th Street.

Special guests will be representatives of the City's Department of Transportation and Northern District Police Department, and City Council Persons, Belinda Conaway and Mary Pat Clarke. The public is invited to attend. Problems and possible solutions to be discussed: 1. Steps to be taken to reduce speed and aggressiveness of drivers; 2. Negative impact on quality of life of traffic light synchronization, which promotes speeding from the Jones Falls to Greenmount; 3. Absence of speed limit signs and the absence of traffic enforcement; 4. Failure to enforce weight restrictions for truck traffic coming off the Jones Falls east onto 28th to Charles Street and beyond; 5. Missing Walk/Don't Walk signs in some directions at intersections, 6. Failure of drivers to give right of way to pedestrians at intersections before making rights on red, the need for longer delays between light changes, etc; 7. Viability of intersection cameras to catch aggressive drivers and red light runners; 8. Use of alleys by non-resident drivers as thoroughfares; 9.

He was aware they were following him, and feeling threatened put his back against the building so they couldn't get behind him. The two who were behind came up and the four of them asked for money. Unsure what to do, he blustered. One hit him on the side of his head with his fist, another swung at him with the stick he was carrying. At that point a motorist stopped and asked my husband if he needed any help. The four teens ran, and he came home. We called the police to make a report. They took the information and told us they were going to drive around the area looking for the teens. We made the report thinking that these boys were out looking for trouble, and were probably going to harass someone else.

Ironically, I noticed a guy hanging out on their porch this morning and when I asked him who he was looking for and what he was up to, he left. I kept an eye on their house today, but apparently, he returned a few hours later and broke in their back door. He took some DVDs, CDs, cell phones, and some other items. I only wish I would have called the cops this morning but when he left, I thought it was OK. My neighbor did call the police who is there now taking fingerprints and taking a report (I went over to give the description I had). Hopefully, they'll catch him.

Tuesday, April 24th, 6:30 pm, St. John's BLUE MASS Posted by: JOSEPH STEWART [EMAIL PROTECTED] joeonavon Wed Apr 4, 2007 9:16 am (PST) The Annual Baltimore 'BLUE MASS' A Community-wide Service of Prayer for the Police, Fire-fighters, and Paramedic Teams of Baltimore City Tuesday, 24 April, 6.30 PM SAINT JOHN'S CHURCH 3009 GREENMOUNT AVENUE Greenmount Avenue at Thirtieth Street A Reception follows the Service to thank our Fire-fighters, Police, and Paramedic Teams for all their good work on our behalf. N.B. This is a sacred Service of Prayer to help meet the Pastoral needs of the men and women of the Police and Fire Departments, sponsored by Saint John's Church as an act of gratitude for the many acts of courage and sacrifice made on our behalf. This sacred time and place of reconciliation is NOT the forum for complaints or politics! Could you do it?? Could you do what they do? Could you rush into raging flames for a stranger? Could you put yourself between a gun and someone you've never met? Could you chase down and tackle someone twice you size? Could you carry out a dead child to its parents? Could you put in the IV drip? Could you close a gaping, bleeding wound? They can, and do- your fire-fighters, police and paramedics. They do it on a weekly basis. Why have a service of prayer for our Police, Fire-fighters, and Paramedic Teams? Because these individuals do for our city and its communities what we ourselves are not able to do, or choose not to do, but know needs to be done; because they engage in work which is both physically and spiritually dangerous on our behalf and in our place; because for us these individuals routinely expose themselves to an underground society and the underside of ordinary life that most of us can scarcely imagine. A public service of prayer is a gift to them which makes us mindful of their particular need for spiritual support, and of our responsibility to help them to bear what we ask of them. There is a long tradition in Baltimore of a religious service for the Legal Profession, commonly called the Red Mass because of the colour of the vestments of the clergy for the patron saint of the Profession. In this case, because Fire-fighters, Police, and Paramedics all have different patron saints, a common date was chosen: the feast of Saint George, a martyred Christian soldier (ca.304 AD) who was devoted to the ideals of his faith, the duty of his office, and who gave his life in the course of service. He is honoured for his courage and devotion to his companions, for his fearless willingness to put himself in danger for others, and above all for the zeal of his faith. The special colour of his day would customarily be the red of a martyr, or white, which can always be used for any saint. It is a happy coincidence that in the English customs followed at Saint John's Church, blue is an equivalent substitute for white, and so our offering of a Blue Mass, is especially appropriate for our men and women in blue. The Service takes the form of a Christian rite and uses Christian language, but it is prayer to the God of us all, the God of every language, people and nation. Everyone is invited to enter into the prayer, the Spirit, and the meaning of this Service as deeply as possible. If the forms seem somewhat traditional, it is because Christian worship is very ancient, and because its language deliberately recalls the eternal presence of those who have gone before us in life, faith, and hope. The forms are Christian, but the prayer is universal, embracing the living with the dead and soaring through God's eternity which we experience as our present. The form of prayer for this Service is our most sacred ritual, in which Christians believe Holy Communion may be made with God himself, and with those who have loved Him. In this rite we offer to God our praise, our prayers for ourselves and on behalf of others, our sorrow for wrong-doing, our promise of renewal, and all our very being. We join these to the supreme offering of the Son of God who gave his own life as a ransom for many. On this occasion, baptised Christians who are communicant members in good standing in their own church are encouraged to receive the Holy Communion. Those whose faith does not permit the reception of Holy Communion in other Churches, non-Christians, or those who for any

They stole mainly jewelry, power tools, personal documents, alcohol, and some of the homeowners clothing. They may have been watching this house because they did not seem to be bothered that the car was parked in back of the house and that the lights were on up stairs. It appears that the intruders were a man and a woman and that one or both of them smoked cigarettes. They stayed in the house overnight eating the homeowners food, drinking their alcohol, and sleeping in their rooms. The home owners arrived early this morning around 7am to find the house ransacked.
