I don't make it -- here to put show thanks Mike until today. Less now we're talking about things. Will we do that we'll take calls and that and the 3 o'clock hour to. As we open the -- the lines in the third in the 3 o'clock hour.
Wanna just take just a second to say happy birthday to my oldest. Thirteen years old today Allen I love you very much happy birthday to -- thirteen. I intend I intend to survive through it. But congratulations. Allie. 26 so 170 as the number here 8668890870. -- toll free line a couple of weeks ago. While -- remained statements his in his state of the city address and so we were imperiling he's gonna have to make cuts he's got to do this 67 million dollar all. And there was another store that came out that there worm. More red light cameras. Being going to -- up in the city and that's that's that's that's always a hot topic issue because frankly a lot of people. Understand the revenue generation and another a bunch of other people going it's a complete rip off they don't play fair and they changed the rules. And I had asked the question then just asking a question of since we gotta fill a budget hole. Whether you know what it will would you prefer would you prefer more red light cameras you think that's a better way to do tax to raise. Funds generate funds for the city and would you rather see your property taxes go up. And that was the question I put out there and it came across they have people who know answered on both sides frozen consoles might. -- are in our city assessor. The Paris assessor we're going from seven to one and the winner who is now going to be you know New -- first single assessor and -- I couldn't begin to tell you how long heard that and said there and listen. Some things that need it's being discussed and so he's -- this must discuss them. The nor as a parish single assess the most heroines I even mr. Errol thanks phone finally got a little. Time -- And I'm happy because of the -- some gratitude at. But I'm I'm like everybody else does concern when I heard the mayor make all those comments I mean. We all thought it was a roughly thirty million dollar hole comes out to be almost seventy and there's some harsh things that are gonna need to be done. And it's going to be just a much more efficient government is gonna have to be put into place and operate but they still do need the money to do it.
You know yellows that he does have a period the financial problem when it comes to meeting their obligations to the book over expenditures.
Well everybody seems like they do that you know that's that's an across the board it's happened here. And it it happens unfortunately too many other places but again when I brought up the thing about should we do more traffic cameras -- property taxes go up. What what sparked you -- go and I mean because it was -- hypothetical question. And and I'll and I'll still continued go to question out there folks you wanna see your property taxes go up or you wanna see the city -- the -- do other things to generate revenue -- put that question up here but in the meantime we talked to mr. went. What what what what what and I say that that.
Or older the real issue the issue there of their -- who will not filled the 65 million dollar. No budget shortfall and that they don't make you -- a bit we're gonna raise property taxes because. This city needs the money is new does -- in total misrepresentation. I would have up to probably taxes are gonna go up. And especially in those neighborhoods where people have enjoyed. Well under assessment over the years so we're gonna try our best to try get it uniformity and Ecuadorean all the neighborhoods and that doesn't begin until 2000 known ties here unlike the other. Did you there on this and other states to do you determine how much but it needs first and then. This finance government through property taxes you after the you have to sort of terminated the rate of about sixty. That for the factory is familiar -- some people moment. There it is time.
How how -- nowhere and then I mean and other cities and couldn't count isn't such around the country that they have floating. Tax is the -- thing MM.
Leo indicate cape tech solution look around they revert to probably tax base say -- first determine how much government -- deployment operation and and they. You know they've this episode of command based upon what fair market value or -- adjustable rate to trying to compensate for the here we do it the rate tolerated picks Delaware we're gonna increase the rate of the people bullets. Are they have this thing called roll forward to which do -- the government raised is -- to rate total hi disapprove level mean I would say you know to get more money. The -- a real problem emanates from the -- also of social experience. -- video -- a big box stores. We're here in New Orleans and spent 2005 and before no longer here and beating on the door to come back here so. -- we have to do something to build builder confidence in the business community of but those. Visitors can come back hallmarks and and just little owned a small market in. And -- to go to the produce -- five million dollars a year and until I. So loaded potato have been media province next little to -- brought pointed at 30% of the city's operating budget. There's never produce what social -- didn't come to Britain by the the city for many years. So -- a lot of growing to do and become somewhat like node built to another big picture benefits.
And NNM I mean that's pretty much a given because -- the -- the more business friendly you are the more business you have the more business they have the more jobs you have the more prosperous O'Leary is. I mean that's that's pretty much a given but your. You are your comments about the Sam's and Wal-Mart and attracting those big business is only one of -- one of the things went in and attracting everybody is is is is that. Schools and tax rates and everything else I mean how. How can you own. I don't know I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm more and as ago chairman years but I do this well since we have the fixed rates weakened. We have a certain rate you can roll forward to a certain those rollback to certain knows what it's all gonna stay within a certain realm right there what can can you do.
I can do is tax assessor in -- to buy emission until the next four years and that is the make sure that. Everybody pays its fair share of taxes -- tell you know based upon what this -- fair market value. That's a tough task because slowed in some areas. Some of that is due to discipline though that on the one policy you'll see more uniformity because. You'll also Leo Leo the different than just going to the neighborhood going down the street. And seen that generates different element to let history. I don't want to do on the just -- district lines begin tar and.
And that and that caused a lot of friction among so the citizenry here there were a lot of people really. -- houses are roughly the same and roughly the same time for neighborhood and -- an old -- hundreds who knows how much money as somebody else is playing chump change.
I've been watching very closely because been behind the scenes trying to make sure that we get. The Internet information out there and then make sure that the public. W lesbian and because the information is still available online real sort of full grip please -- And they'll think should differs should be to land. If it's been a different neighborhood domestic same structures built into their neighborhood and don't different values should be. Basically what Leo land values for that. Perspective neighborhood no market value slowed -- just out of fixed I think it doesn't stay constant. Available someone to move -- a neighborhood. A group prominently wouldn't and the guys struggle and bill that's the kind of sort of just for the talent. -- Position which is an increased because of books -- people. -- people to people coming NSA -- hysterical we really like to say well we're renovating their neighborhood total total repeal over all over the city.
I am a subway for a Simon come back. I got a bunch of questions war the first Obama won among talk about is what you just said how some areas were this somewhere that somewhere under. Undervalued others were over is there any thing is anybody's. In trouble because the bad news is just bad bookkeeping or bad -- thing or is something -- do we C inspector general investigations by abandon him to do the start talking about polite. I saw there's a there's an article a read about a little town up in Nebraska I think it. That's frankly. They are the city itself is giving away city property to individuals so that they can charge them tax revenue so to must get a piece of property -- muffin. But then it's gonna generate tax revenue for the city that's. That's the -- that there and so how bad of a boat or we end and what do we do about blind or six only seven is the number here my guess is Sarah Williams. He has he -- reforming special single -- where. And -- will take your calls here's 26 owning 7866889087. Yard toll free line double got a couple calls are we gonna talk. Fairway and taxes after blue Orleans can't find a way to win the mr. wonder when the -- of -- go to the website no assess.
What does that dot org. But now dot com -- assessor dot com. The all the board members are still there I mean you're of the official one and only but I mean when -- when you officially take over as the one and only -- Where want to go live in January 1 so technically I mean all these offices is still open. Would Mir and in. Tom and a woman Nancy Marshall and all wrestle.
Reassessment serve until a new loan to extend.
Union Pamela how are you gonna are they are offices going to stay open as -- satellite offices and then you'll have a central one -- City Hall someplace or are you.
The only place have considered well people in office open is in the corner also on the -- the river of everything will be here until you know no matter rude -- Evaluating me -- the other renovate the building so we can that's where we are so we can accommodate more people and make it -- People friendly than what it has been there and -- account that works but we meet people need to -- discussed here. The personal affairs and and confidence with. And -- of employee without having a broad look at those children getting into their fair yeah and so little that they that we wanna I wanna change immediately.
What makes us and -- makes sense a coupon Obama grocer announced your solo of people -- kimono and do them and -- and ethnic and that makes sense to make our right to -- so early seventies and number 866889087. Or toll free line. Your questions for a for Aaron Williams the assessor aren't and so I started out talking about -- get your opinion about this okay. Again you made a statement read the company showed that that raising -- just -- Texas property taxes. Or not gonna fill this hole nor were they meant to but it is an important. It is an important. Tax I mean it's it's necessary and it does fill up a big chunk of vote of this of the parish and across the state state coffers to. Aren't there are iron and and end in -- parties leaving. I don't wanna get into the politics of that was true because that's my -- alliance to come on here that but he's leaving he has been a big proponent of of oh vote homestead exemption as have. I mean I I like it but I'm also somebody who thinks that everybody should pay slump and I mean out of everybody who owns a piece of property who lives at that piece of property. It's gonna use the service spoke of what that everyone tax is those are meant for so I'm thinking just means this little on the idea I put out there. While on an old raising -- that exemption 150 grand that's a different argument but everybody who lives in a piece of property should pay some but I know a bunch of people lived in houses a long time. They never sold him they've been the houses on the homes have been re valued. But they still haven't come up through the market you know if if they would put him on the market itself for 250. But they're still not paying any taxes. Is it would it generate some. Some funds to make it worth considering if everybody paid. You know what. Fifty bucks a year.
While you -- WM -- there no in the case to have a Boston Boston but I have all the non profit organizations thing for basic services. Police confirmed additional services that means that there would only do to them amenable plaques. Now that's something that you know the --
They are and Reid that is that is this the nonprofits I mean for instance like churches who owned property. MP you know but but also own property that technically -- church related but this is in Boston this is everybody but they're not up.
You know everybody -- period putting them that the Tacoma nonprofits because everybody should pay their -- fact that you have even those people -- who think they're paying nothing but audio or paying just the police confirm Milledge who have a certain -- well homes if you get one world today -- the ground vehicles while -- not today with construction cost and weight is. But they've basically try and they for the you'll pay for the services that cheap you get them out someplace to they have. That they've -- they've -- to -- and tell whether the local taxes and remember the city -- let's get all the money that's. That's the perception people have the city is only about point 5% of all property tax revenue derived so to -- that the 365 million though that may be generated the city will only get around 25% of that money. They know that I was I was I was like 5050 on the on the old school one of the biggest recipient of that and they only get don't think there's 35%. And so goes the saying. No they don't get any of it goes so different back all the different if you want a -- delegates abortion. They hit some people see that as the city and -- the board liquidation which is local city bit. Which of the separate. An -- on gas and they paid they get money in their motive dedicated people is they go with you know when target to get a portion of Milledge. But I had a and there's it was just. Is broken down by a stack recipient agencies who are who worked -- to Milledge over the past. Thirty years.
How many different recipients are there from the nose in the you know on our web -- is. At least. Ten to 1210 to twelve different tax Jay Witasick get a bass players officer in order board. City New Orleans school board terrible liquidation over them the big recipient of money. Prepared and liquidation of the entity that they -- the city Edison and a bit the other is -- on the.
Did you and -- a challenge I'm just want them they are thought to Susan Warner board fell under the city and in. I didn't realize that it was his own separate thing okay well -- thus -- have guys like you on here's how.
And it'll also have the greatest need and attend. Yeah I'll be there for them live view drive through the streets used to the streets where the water coming up -- up from underground.
Iran wants to -- capital now -- you know. But just so did you want one but the thing of it is that is something a city as provoke some polls that they -- they provide a service that's one of the primary functions. Volvo of a municipality of any government is to provide infrastructure services so. Yeah of course ago so that I just I just thought. They won under the -- the umbrella of this city itself so nobody goes directly into the sewers -- more more which I have absolutely no problem would whatsoever. -- I got a subway got to do news when we get back here to start talking about blight. And again that that Motown -- Nebraska told you about. That they are literally giving away city property that's the kind of hold that there -- because we got look we're we're talking about the -- that wherein overhead they got bunches of cities and bunch of the municipality openly and laid off eighty police also lose. New work thing combines all of paper no more. So we know we ain't great but we certainly -- the -- brown only comes to all of this but we'll talk about some other things and take your browser to six so. 1878866889087. Is told from my guess is a -- Williams. 2601788668890. X seven month old -- My guess is Sarah Williams easiest -- to be only -- he takes over -- January 1 of 2000 -- the end of the year here. And we're talking about property values were talking about. Well what can we do to generate. More income have everybody paid quote their fair share across the board. And some innovative ideas to deal would blighted property and such a do have callers -- need to get too so I'll put my questions on home and let's get to. The for a partial number one is something wrong in my phone here I don't know what's wrong -- my phone members of frost but punch line one -- Babylon -- wants famous Allan thanks for -- and Emilia.
I. -- I understand. The city want to generate. Revenue. We have a lot of but by the property. But I also understand that the way to tax laws are written. It does not encourage. Putting. Properties -- blighted property property where to attack they don't they're not around packet to convert. I bought a property on the mound but the tax fail. It is an expensive. I'm beyond belief then and it is a complicated. Require an attorney and then some. Again a clear title on a property that -- rebuilt -- blog toward favour of getting property back to the commerce.
Well I mean I'm assuming. And -- on just assume in this because. Property rights is an important thing that -- tried to protect some.
and then the solution that provides for the property rights are probably if you buy -- tax -- have a three year holding period. And in the three year holding period to go to according to the -- to disregard.
of them the way that the look at what this city tells you that's what's gonna. -- my paperwork but when you don't kill Roy yeah and try to get that done at temple it's much more complex than that.
Is there -- some waited to -- well I mean. How much money do you need to own a piece of property. Before the sheriff is gonna take it over a similar moment tax sale I mean why don't know why when I go out and come up with -- on the list while when I go out and buy a piece of every that I can't do anything with a three years and -- can come back in and pick up all from me again.
On the new entry years you have to write to redeem the province from little by the -- bill because they're buying the tackling. The -- that no other guys who or whom. Practice and -- there who make money with a they actually. Biden hold it for five years because then no air nobody else can come back and redeem -- earlier -- go to journalism put it up for sale I've seen it happen bove a pistol and execute -- often they gave because that's what people do. A lot of people come back -- little -- so they redeem it let them in the case of the complications develop new lawyers the mother passed the titles -- title recharge. When you close the mine attacked bill because they -- make sure that everybody get noticed who was mayor. That's a typical propaganda silicon -- suburb of seeing them there are NATO leading built Nathan Phillips bought. At least a 150000 words. -- twenty year when -- that it has collected. And became the tax assessment that's what he did he was probably the biggest thing expert and I used to sleep but the process works I don't know works -- between people but that would.
Well but he but he did it. Power like professionally I mean that's what he did as opposed to miss Evelyn who's just look at the pick -- piece of property next door.
he did it that it does bill -- you feel emboldened because together as if you don't followed close to court to court to title.
Well I I want to war and littered. Who might be in a similar situation do not. Think that if it.
agree or pragmatist not an it is not just a wild hair and it required a major investment. So.
But you're also I mean I I guess that's the offset evidence that. I mean are you able look to pay mist -- are you able to pick up this property for a song I mean -- is normally. You know area of our property that would normally be worth 550000. Dollars and is now one attacks sale. You've been up can you purchase it for 10% and that didn't sit on it for three years and then you've got.
that went down about three years to continue to -- until it for that every year every year you have to decide.
Yeah I understand that -- on the united its -- stuff to me like you can't do diddly squat with over three years for somebody whoever whoever was an -- something can still show up and get him back.
weather Cleveland they'll wait five years. There was five years because they know that after that five year period they can come back and redeem it because it'd get a note.
Yeah but I mean been dealt with and I are looking -- piece of property next to -- house and do some good and I -- gonna sit on for five years. Paying taxes and Abiola do they think I'm responsible for cutting the grass but for five years I can't build a shed on that I can't. I can't put a swing set I can't put a fence around I want about a piece of property -- and do some the winner right now five years from now I'll pump you don't have.
While we have so many bad as well we -- legislators because they could change put legislation there the change global. But it has to be voted no because as a constitutional checking each well I know that in in that and and other places. Example you all talked about earlier. Blog -- changed. During times like this. Not to hurt the property owner and you know non ticket waiting vital rights that album property -- but to make sure some of these to help. Get rid of some of these blighted property there are things that can be done. When our kids.
Irregular at the -- because we looked at 191000 properties this year and we only change 7000 the rest of -- do under renovation I have nothing here. And until then -- don't believe me I don't know.
I'm which you -- some I mean so now I'm I have to get -- legislators and -- it changes but as you said though there's so many blighted properties in the cities that we wanna do something about it. But I am not gonna go through a five year process I can understand these other fellows who -- but they did a for profit that's that's what way they did -- like mama -- farmer. So I'll plant some scene in the stormy months before my harvest comes in well that's what I do.
And I don't need to know about this interim there was the -- in the -- probably has been declared blighted. The data emitted an eighteen month period they can do I have one of those such.
But such situations but there has to be a a detention and there though it meant complications or an hour early wanted to that's an academic myself.
I'm -- and as far as I'm concerned -- eighteen -- either plop plop -- some money for piece of property that probably belongs to -- outside that probably belongs and -- Only inside blossoming. Well I -- okay thanks for the -- 267866889087. In fact I got a bunch of calls here troops we'll talk more about the a lot of property and get into that that town in Nebraska. Given away properties and the city. Giveaway blighted property how to stonewalled read that way and in more your calls there was. -- successor Carol Williams your husband Jones. Let's show we heard the number Jimmy -- to 601878866889087. In my guest is Daryl Williams via his soon to be only a sensor. Blow Orleans Parish here begins January the first and we're talking about land property blighted property. Here's this little town -- Beatrice Nebraska is the name has found. Mr. -- it giving away land to generate tax revenue. And let's see. If you give land people will builder at least that's the hope of Beatrice Nebraska wants provided public domain -- to pioneering farmers via the homestead act of 1962. And now they're giving away property so that. People will generate tax revenue is. Is is I don't know is out of balancing what what kind of a headache -- that generate for you it Roland.
Hillary headache for me is this city and try and implement a program I think it's it's -- innovative idea to try and the -- revenue because apparently. -- the city can give it away they have the right to take the question then our case the city doesn't take possession of property date and -- if someone doesn't by the tagged Billick magellan's has bought and then becomes adjudicated the name of the city -- five years. And then they've they've tried do a similar program by. Taking the property that adjudicated five years and beyond. And begin to give them to the nonprofit organizations. And then news -- development block grant money utilized. -- the US that'll nonprofit organizations to renovate the properties put it back into -- when I go out there have a 180 day period and wish to.
Q let me start I mean these guys over here aren't talking about non profits I mean these guys and Beatrice they're given their property anybody who will turn around and turn it into something a third generate revenue. And I mean I can understand where. You know I wanna see the plan so what you're gonna do in the amount of money you intend to generate in tax revenue before just give me this piece of property for right now let's just city owned property doing nothing but a Britain you know they gotta go cut the grass on at least all.
Elusive that would take you indicate they picked title that's that's without actually allow the -- accounts.
Notice that less about property they took from somebody else this is probably the Syria already don't.
I don't know I don't know implement similar to with the idea. Whether school would do right now auction off some of the property yeah. -- if this city -- this provident owned by government and government has a right to a dispenser a disposal and you waited. They see fit than did general low that you gotta get -- Abreu loaded -- you consultant based on that. And valued at this together -- similar program they we call that the Pope. And -- program. Still over -- property is -- acronym is open and then that's where they'd have a duty -- probably five near the golden and they -- to anybody who wants to buy it. New video program is go bill promoted donated adjudicated prompted donation of adjudicated property but this year and that's the best bet that you all the solution. No that's something that problem the minute they accomplish a look at. And vehicle decision deal Providence not producing any income that data can be put back the -- the disabilities someone.
Good idea guy giveaway bribery or somebody the chance or when I haven't paid taxes on.
I don't burns oh please -- effect though anyway you look at it -- dangled in its next -- citizen of this you name it woman be taxable. Her ability you know that they're in their case they're probably have a lot of property. They did a and more are more probably than they know what to do whether you live it's only a couple of square blocks is the -- a lot of blood a profitable we don't take English and a blood approach and that's legitimate sources that's that's if if well well I gonna get to a --
I don't know there are militia com Laura have known redevelopment authority yeah they -- that is there's responsibility that the expropriated property and then reseller now that. No they're always got a problem with trying to financed the operation but. This torrent bill added they've they've done the job as necessary but -- Because there's so much have a did not on the money given to them to operate an agency to wage should be yeah go over -- no that's that's simple solution but at the end of.
I mean it sounds like a good thing to me because -- differences the city is trying new. Attract businesses so they go common tax break put instead of cutting number -- bring go look. You wanna come in here and you're gonna hire X number of people we got a piece of property you can half so you don't even have you don't have the expense of buying a piece of property. To do something and then you can build and start hiring people are generating tax revenue.
When that story -- big business here UW -- open and ashamed just the next break -- together sometimes Troy and building. Glenn and ought to make big encourage them to go.
I got to -- the phones Henry thanks for hanging on your next on WW.
I know this serial -- brilliantly -- I'm doing good look. In your opinion what -- usage yet just cooler and expo -- expropriation process. And you know keeping in mind and that they can he -- wave on the owner out of there.
Well noted that the affirmative -- that's the constitutional amendment changed because they're there recently tried them men. The defection that deals with a corporation a property in the last in the 2000 legislature we still try and this is true because that was problem more complicated bills. And it does this after because -- you think they're getting impacted by that fielded total requirement that he had been actual you don't -- profit when you can. Actually go to court and and public appropriate and Leo -- I don't think there's any way to get around at a show in the period. There on the period then you get in the by the by the -- with the -- property. And given those who noticed have been a big issue. -- people who grandmother property they transferred to the -- when you see the city coming adamant and the other person has to get notes. That's America and able to go but I think it's just the end of the other that we got to do something and then the -- bit. As a committee put together of -- blender ruled that and that committee is trying to find a way to deal with despite a property to -- about it. Those optional would go public. Status we do know from being blinded to get back in the comers.
Right right button so what do clear that time apparel what you think. Don't this year would be. It would give you a clear title bolting it to make it lending institution won't lend that.
All that's that's that's another issue live because live the title -- new little one through the uninsured. Didn't move in that settle the question there was some problem as the undivided bits and just probably -- in the last year. Where they were turned them over to the sheriff's themselves which -- city it's appropriate to propagate and they I don't know output elsewhere has been with them but. You know just to test. People will try in this it's to it was a best move because this -- get your -- title when he felt.
Then you know I -- appreciate it thanks to a -- Henry I got other costume on -- he's generating a question here but when you made a statement about somebody sees -- city -- And they'll transfer their property somebody else meant to stalls everything all but I mean if if if if they owe taxes to the point where that's where you come to look at a number one this fines for -- memo to this there is you've got to pay taxes every year on it and if they don't they can take the win away from you because -- that. If the way and if the -- blight fines and the non paid taxes. Reached the point where it is the appraised value of the property is that the point where you can take it over and if that's the case. Then then they got you know get that they've given up their opportunity. To to claim that that piece of property in and then they can go on the block in miss Evelyn can buy what I -- in five years.
Okay you have who knew who -- world practiced now where they're putting fixed expenses find Leone's bloody properties and I've seen some of the blood probably the find those two times what the value or three tablet the value of the property. And -- really haven't -- haven't moved back in the coverage here at.
Well and SS Roma last month I got to simply numb overtime -- will be back or your calls Syverson that's what makes sense to me. If the if the fines are worth more than the property then is that the point where the city can take it. An insult to miss Evelyn who looked sounded and disrupt -- got a subway don't back a moment and Aqua Moran at the.
They're all here and.
But again I'm in the point where I'm not I'm not a parliament be -- news properties. 2670. Is our number here got about a minute left. May grab this another call -- in the won't tell you don't.
Pay no idea how do I tell you I'm fine I got about a minute you got a question for -- have a quick question I'm. I'm pretty much speed as single effect -- about trafficking that left a -- that a way higher than my current market value.
Those that there will be telling.
The way I can assure you that that already seen some that are. I won't mention is that the district but I -- already -- go to some audio. District to out of there have been represented trying to make sure that the values reflect what market value per rental a couple of the night and had a problem. Video there or -- sit near the goal and they got thanks bill for 5001 he has -- But they were pro should have been frozen in this valuation. Is way out alive for the more fifteen but we'll -- fortified with the shut them things.
