Because a big business can easily hit those numbers. Def see a concrete supplier with big contracts or investment firms being at the top

And then you have to remember this could be total tax owed over a few years with fees and compounded interest added on. So even for a small business like a gas station or mini mart can easily hit 100k in just a couple of years.

My work often requires what in the industry is called “rigging.”

Yeah, this is going to be the most expensive part of OP’s new stove, especially if it’s being picked through a window and will occlude traffic, which requires a police detail. A “cheap” “pick” (generally what the action of lifting the equipment is called) can be $2,500, at least in the construction industry, but truth be told, that would be to place a condenser unit on a rooftop with adequate access. And even then, if I got that back as a quote, I’d be surprised at the economy of it.

I’m doing a project right now that requires placing ~130k lbs of equipment on a roof in Boston, ~60’ up in the air. There’s plenty of space, no police detail required, and it’s an easy “pick.”

$70k.

Good luck OP lol

I'd be surprised if they didn't have to auction off his house for him being a dingus.

I remember he would drive around the parking lot of my school trying to pick up chicks. And he had that fucking Halo on at the time cuz his neck was broken. The guys fucking insane

I can see why that might happen. Retire or move to Florida while still owning property up here but no longer paying the property tax possibly. If you own significant property I’m sure it adds up quickly. Some people move to Florida to escape taxes.

I guess the same could be true with people up here too, maybe they own the whole building their address is listed at and fell behind on property taxes. I guess it could even be from eviction moratoriums during covid leading to no income to pay the taxes. In which case it would be the government’s fault why the government isn’t getting their money lol.

Kinda feel bad for some of the individuals. I wonder what the circumstances were that led to owing a quarter million dollars to the state while living in an apartment.

I actually know an owner of one on the business list, and it’s not surprising. Good people but not great with money. I know they almost lost their house to foreclosure at one point.
