Dear Southern Shores Resident,
Did you know that, effective July 1st, your town taxes will have increased by a total of 68% in the last 24 months? Yep. Two years ago, your ad valorem tax rate was 9.5 cents per $100, and now your town board has just voted to increase it to 16 cents per $100, up another 2 cents from last year. This two-year rate increase will be the HIGHEST IN DARE COUNTY HISTORY.
Now, what have you gotten for your tax increase in the past two years? Well, if you live on the same street as your mayor, Hal Denney, you have gotten new asphalt to drive on. And, if you live on some portions of the Southern Shores canal system, you have about two feet of deeper water behind your house. And, if you are a member of the Southern Shores Boat Club, you now have a wider/deeper(?) channel to get you out into the sound. That's about all EOD can come up with.
Rest assured that Dare County will also be increasing your annual tax bill next year when the new property valuations are released (unless you live on the oceanfront, of course), and, once again you will be faced with some of the highest property taxes in Dare County history.
Are you living on a fixed income? Can you absorb all these tax increases. EyeonDare would like to know. Tell us what you think?
EOD
Southern Shores Resident
