Best to foia request the names of all department of homeland security now. That is still public information for the time being.
May prove handy in the coming years
County appraisers refused to drop the value. They like their tax revenue
That's how it should be, but the county refuses to deem it uninhabitable. They like their tax revenue
No part of the land is directly owned by my parents. It is owned by the estate, which is 50/50 between my parent and my uncle. Trust me if my parents owned the land under their trailer they would be a lot less stressed.
Like I said them continuing to live there is not an issue. Maybe if my uncle pressed it it would become one, but all he wants is 100k +. So he really doesn't care beyond that.
Unfortunately his wants aren't compatible with the reality of the situation.
No one has pursued a forced arbitration, and honestly I'm not sure why. Per the lawyer it seems like the property can exist in limbo indefinitely, or at least until one party forces something. It's a weird stalemate of unrealistic expectations. He wants a lot of money, but also doesn't want to pay a lawyer himself or do any work. As long as this continues my parents keep their home at least.
My grandfather's home is vacant, my parents live in a separate trailer on the property. So that's the crux isn't it, what does vacancy mean? Because on paper this property has an occupied trailer and an unoccupied single family home. It's one "property" but the trailer and home are taxed separately by the county and owned by different people. The county does consider them seperate dwellings, unlike a mother-in-law suite.
The estate lawyer has made it clear there are no issues from my parents living on the property still and there is no expectations of payment. It's definently not squatting, 50% of the estate does belong to my parents after all.
He's a very stubborn man, and very convinced an asset he's never seen has tremendous worth. He was apparently very disappointed that my grandfather only had $100 in his checking.
In this proposed scenario, if he does nothing he loses some money (he's doing pretty well), but then my parents become homeless through his inaction. That seems wrong.
My family lives on the land yes, but ownership of the land belongs only to the estate. No issue with a rent payment since there was never a rent payment prior to my grandfather's death.
The house is, the land does have some value even after demolition costs. Basically uncle thinks it's worth 200,000. In reality it's worth 40,000, maybe a bit less.
Also my parents have their trailer (does not belong to the estate) on the property. They'd love to settle it, but 1 party refuses.
This plan would actually make my parents homeless as they can't afford to purchase anything else or rent anywhere near where they live. If they could at least divide the proceeds of the land sale they might be able to afford something. This proposed tax would break them
Disagree, my grandfather's home has set vacant for nearly 4 years now after his passing. The estate cannot be wrapped up due to my estranged uncle not believing the property is worthless.
The county keeps upping the tax assessment, and so he's convinced it's worth something and refuses to visit the preoperty.
On paper this is an unused house in reality the roof finally fell in about 6 months after my grandfather died. The county refuses to condem it because they want the tax revenue and my estranged uncle has held up the estate indefinitely with unrealistic expectations.
I wouldn't say my poor as fuck family deserve a 100% annual tax on the assessed value of a near worthless asset.
Start going to protests. I know I have since everything began.
If we can have a progressive takeover of the democratic party like the magas did to the republican party, our democracy may still have a decent chance

It is unfortunate that their agency is becoming the secret police. It's not what they chose it's just what it is.
You did make me think though. No need to FOIA the whole agency, ICE and few other agencys under DHS are really the issue. TSA agents aren't being direct to indefinitely detain American citizens for their political speech, yet
