[AT] Subdivision Development

Heck Mike,  we used to have to list our guns and dogs (but not cats.  I 
think the theory was that no one actually owned a cat. lol).  They did away 
with that years ago but we still have to pay taxes on boats, boat trailers, 
tractors and equipment, utility trailers, etc, etc.
If you don't pay the tax on your vehicles they won't let you buy a license 
plate the next year until you pay the bill and the fine.  If you ever make 
the mistake of paying by check they record your account router number and if 
you ever fail to pay they attach your bank account.  I don't think they can 
legally do that but they do.  Believe me I know.  A few years ago I 
overlooked a tax bill on some personal property (my boat or something). 
They sent me a late notice that came about 2 days after I paid the bill for 
one of my vehicles.  I thought it was a second notice for the bill I had 
just paid and ignored it.  About a week later I got a notice that they were 
going to block my bank account if I didn't pay them (about $45.00).  I got 
the notice out of the mail box and drove straight to the tax office and paid 
them.  Too Late!  They had already siezed my account and a few hundred 
others in the county that same day.  The bank was going to charge me $60 to 
straighten it out once I proved I had paid the bill.  The bank was very nice 
about it.  They said they had no choice since the county had sent them 
papers to do it.  I reminded them that I had  been banking with them for 
about 30 years and they decided to let me slide on the $60 but the lady said 
most of the others would have to pay as it cost the bank money to do the 
paper work.  Not to mention that many of the others had "bad checks" 
floating around as a result of the accounts being siezed.  Luckily I hadn't 
written any for a few days.
