This article does a better job of explaining the increase. The 3rd quarter tax bill had placed an average extra $1200 for schools. The 4th quarter tax bill will see an extra $1160 for the city. If you remember the 3rd quarter tax bills were resent so Fulop could add a letter blaming the BOE for the increase. I doubt we will now see a letter blaming Fulop or the council for this one.

The real question is *when* do they tell us what the actual numbers are? Bill is due in under 2 weeks, and they still can't tell me what I owe. What on earth is going on at City Hall? If you can't publish the numbers 30 (ideally 90) days ahead of time, you have to skip the increase this quarter and go with historical values. Go ahead and hit us next quarter. You can't expect people to just fly blind to one of the biggest costs of the year.

From what I recall last year, the Q3 property tax amounts were similarly delayed and they gave an additional few weeks to homeowners to turn in payment because of it.

I agree with everything you've said though.
