In addition, I love coconut cream pie! So, I was ecstatic this week when I saw a recipe on Facebook which combined the two. I cannot wait to make this; however, I am fairly cer- tain it will not last long in my home. Enjoy! Source: www.kraftrecipes.com liKe oUr facebooK PaGe Care to comment?

Great SelectiOn! Property taxes are a pri- mary source of funding for local government units, in- cluding counties, cities and towns, townships, libraries and other special districts including fire districts and solid waste districts. Prop- erty taxes are administered and collected by local gov- ernment officials. These funds are used to pay for a variety of services including welfare; police and fire; new construction and mainte- nance of buildings; local in- frastructure like highways, roads and streets; and the operations, including sala- ries, of the local units of gov- ernment. four steps to slashing your property-tax bill Up to 60 percent of the property in the United States could be overtaxed. Step 1: Visit your local as- sessor. Inquire in advance about which forms you must fill out and when the dead- line for filing is. ( You usual- ly have 60 days or less from the time your annual assess- ment was mailed to lodge an appeal.) While there, get a copy of your property card, which contains informa- tion about your house, like square footage and the num- ber of bedrooms and bath- rooms, that the assessor us- es to determine its value. Step 2: Check the proper- ty card for mistakes. Look for math errors (property taxes are generally based on a percentage of a property's value, multiplied by a tax rate set by the local govern- ment); clerical errors, such as how your property is clas- sified (commercial vs. resi- dential); and inaccurate de- scriptions that indicate your home is worth more than it is. Catching such simple mistakes may lead to a re- duced assessment. Step 3: Compare your home's value with that of others in the neighborhood. This public information can be found at your local munic- ipality or online at valueap- peal.com or domania.com. Look up homes that are close to yours in terms of lo- cation, age, size, and ameni- ties, then note their apprais- als. "If your home is valued at least five percent higher than houses comparable to yours, you have a case." Step 4: File an appeal. While the rules for appeals vary from one state to the next, most require you to submit a written statement to a county board explain- ing why the evaluation is in- accurate. You must support this claim with hard evi- dence: property cards, other house valuations, and even photos can be useful when comparing your home with others. And be sure to men- tion your home's flaws (a leaky roof, termite damage). Those problems might save you enough cash that you'll be able to afford to fix them. Focus on the money: Purpose of property taxes and how you can save Further enhancing the Company's 2014 first quar- ter earnings comparison was a $1.0 million, or 23% percent increase, in non- interest income (exclusive of net gains on the sales of loans and securities). This increase was driven by a $772,000 increase in insur- ance revenue, a $193,000 in- crease in investment servic- es revenue, and a $106,000 increase in deposit service charges in 2014. German American's quar- terly year-over-year perfor- mance was also reflective of a $ 385,000 decrease in net gains from securities sales, as well as a $278,000 decrease in net gains from the sale of residential mort- gage loans. Bridge 144 opens county bridge 144 was opened on Monday. a new concrete bridge was installed to replace an old po- ny truss bridge that had been closed for a long time. the bridge is located on county road 500e about a half-mile north of the Pike-Warrick county line.
