If you are referring to my comments, the property isn't a "campground", it's private rural property owned by me.

In the past, people were taxed for permanent structures. A "mobile home" was considered permanent. An RV was not taxed because it was basically a Vehicle" and was not bolted down. They changed that regulation.

Assessors don't "send you a bill", they notify you of an increase in assessment and the higher tax amount will show up when you get your next county or school taxes.

In my case, the RV WAS permanent. I had no plan to move it ever, so I couldn't really complain.

No, I was referring to some of previous posts discussing campgrounds.

If you were in a "campground", why would an assessor care if you were there renting the space for a week? And if he did come by, wouldn't he send the "bill" to the owner of the business?

Actually, the campground is supposed to inventory the campers there at that time and submit to the tax office. Crazy it is. If you boondock somewhere in the state during those dates, you are golden.

I have no idea, hence my question.

Refer to posts #9, 14, 27 and 64 and you will see why I asked in the first place.

What happens if you just ignore it and not pay it?
