GOLF COURSE SCREWS THE COUNTY AGAIN!

Would someone like to explain the reason that some parcels of land around the Golf Course area are not taxable even though they are property within Swain Counties tax base?
Why is it that the other people within the County have to save for their tax payments with even some paying on a monthly basis just to be sure that their obligations are taken care of?

Don't you think Swain County should offer up some explanations on this. Let's bring the whole thing out in the open and put it on the table.
Every Property owner paying property tax deserves to know just who's getting away with what and how.
The path to being tax exempt should be exposed so that everybody can get in on not paying property taxes.
For as long as the Golf Course has been in existence, just how much money never came in the counties coffers and then all they do is raise our taxes to make up for the short falls.
We're not talking environmental areas, we're talking lots with million dollar homes and million dollar views.
Just how low can you go? You tell us!

Look at the tax maps. Who lives on these lots?

To the moderator:

Could you be more specific, i.e. what properties exactly you are talking about, and what history there may be behind why they were given tax exempt status in the first place? Otherwise, it's rather hard to have any context on this discussion. Swain has a nice online property system, so it shouldn't be difficult to provide links to the properties in question.

Thank you.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A FORMER COMMISSIONER FEATHERING HIS OWN NEST. SEARCH OUT WHICH COMMISSIONER LIVES THERE TODAY.

Isn`t it easy to make accusations and innuendos when you do not sign your name? If you have proof of your facts, the public would be interested. ie, feathering one`s nest.

Just a name is not proof of facts. Can this be documented?

Still it is the correct name, check out the house, fairly nice for a local boy.
