Because You Asked …

A HucksOnline blurker wonders about the tax questions involving North Idaho College that we've been discussing here. He’s wondering how people know what their tax bill will be already since only the assessments have been completed so far.  He called the countyl tax office and was told the tax bills won’t be mailed until sometime in November.  He’s curious where they’re getting the information they’ve been sharing.  He’s hoping you’ll address this in your blog.

DFO: Using the numbers provided by Jeff Ward (51 cents per thousand and $1.11 per thousand), I surmise that we're talking about the NIC tax rates for five years encompassing 2007 (0.0005099320) to 2011 (0.0011084070),  with second half of payment for 2011 spilling over to June 2012. The blurker is right. We don't know what those numbers are this year.
