      <![CDATA[You are 100% correct about the overall tax burden being higher in the DC cities than it is in Memphis.<br>
<br>
When looking at the special $0.18 tax assessment remember to look at your 2010 COM tax bill. If you have noticed the 2010 tax bill was less than the 2011 bill because of a slight decrease in the tax rate from 2010 to 2011.

      <![CDATA[The University of Memphis did a study three or four years ago that shows combined taxes are higher in DeSoto County than they are in Memphis. A major factor is that there is a state income tax plus a significant personal property tax on motor vehicles.

      <![CDATA[Memphis may have property taxes that are the highest in the state but many, many states have taxes that are higher than what we pay. I work with taxes on properties all over the US.

      <![CDATA[From an earlier Flyer article re the mayor's state of the city address:<br>
"On the sober side, there was the announcement that with the next property reappraisal, Memphis' total assessments will decline for the first time in modern history at the same time the city faces a major increase in bond payments."<br>
Probably not a calamity, but it sounds like higher tax rates are in the offing just for the city to stay even.<br>
