All the people that I know are all complaining about the same thing... LOCAL GOVERNMENT... New Hanover County and the city of Wilmington are pushing the people out of here.. How much more in taxes and rate increases do they expect the people to handle? I just received a letter from the Tax office saying that I will be going up 20% in land value. I have been told that a code was put on my property in 2007 by mistake . But know one in the office can show me the mistake. Since 2007 the computer system has changed and there is no hard copy.. So,I will just have to take their word on it.. The next thing people complain about is our water company.. another raise, come on if the sewer sysytem in the Odgen Area need repairs then why did the county FORCE us to hook up. Ever when they knew the system couldn't handle it. I had a perfectly good septic sysytem and keep receiving letters stating that if I didn't hook up I was going to be fined. Won't have been smarter to leave the people hook up when their septic system failed. Therefore the county would have had years to repair the Odgen area pipes and could have done the work slowly without raising the water bill (AGAIN)
