Before I begin discussing the upcoming tax season, I want to take a moment to reiterate the $50 monthly requirement to cover the remaining 2015 P-H School tax bill. The account is short several dollars as I have not received all payments from all parties (you can check the Google spreadsheet to see the totals for everyone). This will affect my decision to do anything in the Spring, so the sooner the delinquent amounts can be remitted to the bank, the better.
Tax season, in this case, has two meanings. The first is that the latest tax bill for Kamp Kalorie (the county taxes) will be arriving in the mail any day now. For now, it looks to be roughly the same as last year: $590.15 according to www.taxlookup.net. But, as stated in an earlier post/email, because of the upcoming construction, the tax bill for next year will be significantly more. This is why I’m requiring the $50/month payment to cover both the current taxes as well as the upcoming increased taxes. So, if you had already paid your P-H School taxes, you should start paying the $50/month in January. If you still owe for the P-H School bill, as mentioned above, you should remit that as soon as possible. If you’re unsure of your status, check the Google spreadsheets. All the information is there. If you don’t have the link to the spreadsheets, let me know and I’ll get it to you. If you don’t have access to it, let me know that, too, and I’ll grant it (you’ll probably need a Gmail account).
The other meaning for tax season is the fact that we’ll all be filing our income taxes sometime in the next 4 months or so. I know that I always get a refund, and I expect everyone else gets one as well. So, here’s something to consider: The total bill for kamp for each person is $600 for the entire year. I had initially said an easy way to pay said bill was to split it up into payments of $50 per month. But, if you’re getting a big tax refund (and with all those kids, I would hope everyone is getting significant refunds), you also can use that tax refund to pay the entire year’s bill in one fell swoop of $600. Simply write a check and send it to the North Country Savings account. If you need to know the account number, let me know, and I’ll email it to you. That one-time payment will take care of your entire year’s commitment to the Kamp tax bill.
That’s it for now! Still waiting to hear feedback from people on the new kamp design. Randy likes it and thinks he can move forward with it. So, if you have any comments, please don’t hesitate to leave them on the blog.
