• <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: January 25, 1982 <br />FROM: Betty Blackmon <br />SUBJECT: Over-65 and Disabled Person Exemptions <br />The over-65 and disabled person exemptions for the City of <br />La Porte for 1981 taxes is $20,000. With the re-evaluation <br />to raise values to 100% I have had a great many complaints <br />as this has meant that many people who had not paid taxes <br />since reaching 65 years of age had to pay taxes for 1981. <br />The State Property Tax Board froze the School District taxes <br />at the 1979 level, and for 1981 Harris County set the <br />exemption amount at $78,120. <br />It is my feeling that the exemption ount sh be raised <br />for 1982. ~c ~ _ J <br />C el[~ <br />etty l.ackmon <br />Tax Assessor Collector <br />City of La Porte <br /> <br />L` <br />
