Constitutionality Of Garbage Plan Remains In Doubt

Share this post by email - 1 Comment - View And/Or Add A Comment »

Yesterday, Gwinnett Superior Court judge Michael Clark dismissed a suit by Red Oak Sanitation claiming the recently adopted garbage plan restricted competition. But, the judge also made it clear that he was none-too-pleased with the new plan and went so far as to call into question its constitutionality. Judge Clark stated, “By no means am I saying the ordinance is constitutional and the settlement is constitutional.” He went on to say, “Can you think of any other state tax that you can collect 18 months in advance? Why not go 24? I mean, is there no limit?”

Attorneys representing both the service providers and the county filed briefs with the court requesting clarification of the judge’s comments regarding the constitutionality of the plan. Judge Clark is reviewing the briefs.

One additional law suit regarding the new trash plan remains in federal court.

Unincorporated Gwinnett Pays More For Garbage

Share this post by email - No Comments - Add A Comment »

One would think that with a consumer base the size of unincorporated Gwinnett that the Gwinnett BoC could have negotiated waste collection rates that are better than that of Gwinnett’s cities. Nope,… while unincorporated Gwinnett will be paying $17.86 per month, the following cities will be paying less:
- Auburn - $15.51
- Berkeley Lake - $11.74
- Brazelton - Freedom of choice
- Buford - $2.00
- Dacula - $10.00
- Duluth - $7.33
- Grayson - $11.66
- Lawrenceville - $7.50
- Lilburn - Free
- Loganville - $15.00
- Norcross - $10.87
- Snellville - Free
- Sugar Hill - $10.00
- Suwanee - Freedom of choice

Sugar Hill City Manager Bob Hail was quoted as saying, “All I did was guarantee them 5,200 customers, even the guys who lost the bid beat the county’s deal by $5. It’s tragic.”

I know that I’ll be paying more and I’m sure that there are many senior citizens who will be paying more since the BoC didn’t find the need in building in discounts for the county’s elderly.

BTW - The Corinth Hills area is now considered to be within “zone 4″ of the overall master plan service map [PDF].

Reassessments In The Mail

Share this post by email - No Comments - Add A Comment »

Gwinnett County is reporting that approximately 124,000 real property Notices of Change in Assessment were placed in the mail last Friday. This is the first of three mailings expected to reach a total of 150,000 notices. Approximately 140,000 of the notices are from value updates while the remaining 10,000 notices are the result of new construction or tax returns filed by property owners.

The vast majority of the 120,000 residential property notices issued in the first batch will show an average value decrease of 17 percent or $35,000 of market value. The sum of all decreases for residential property totals approximately $4.2 billion of market value.

How unfortunate that property valuations weren’t adjusted prior to the supplimental millage rate increase just received last month.

Gwinnett Garbage Continues To Smell

Share this post by email - No Comments - Add A Comment »

On March 23rd the Gwinnett BoC approved a new garbage plan. By doing so it also settled four pending lawsuits over the last failed garbage plan. Another lawsuit filed by Waste Industries in federal court last December is still pending. Now another lawsuit has been filed this week by Red Oak Sanitation citing restriction of competition.

The new garbage plan plan adopted by the BoC takes affect July 1st and will cost residents $17.81 per month. The fees will take the form of a charge on property tax bills supposedly to ensure total compliance by all residents.

Yard waste will cost an additional $10 per month and will be paid directly to the service provider. Sorry, no senior discounts provided in this plan.

It bears repeating, the pending lawsuits are going to be settled and the money is going to have to be paid for by tax dollars which means your actual cost per month is going to be far greater than the adopted amount. Also wave goodbye to free enterprise.

For all of those who say the new plan will clear the roads of haulers and reduce pollution, not only will the same amount of garbage need to be picked up, but because of the compliance mandate, there will be more garbage to pick up. Garbage trucks are not going to magically disappear and neither will their exhaust.

Is all of this really worth it?

Garbage Adopted

Share this post by email - 3 Comments - View And/Or Add A Comment »

The county line:
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners adopted a new solid waste ordinance for unincorporated Gwinnett County during the board’s business session on March 2, 2010. The ordinance as adopted will be posted as soon as possible.

Service will begin on July 1, 2010, giving residents and haulers time to transition to the new system. The new ordinance, which does not affect city residents, will provide a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally-conscious solid waste management system and also will allow Gwinnett County to fulfill its requirements under state law. All homeowners will have access to services for the collection and disposal of household garbage, expanded recycling, white goods (household appliances), bulky wastes (mattresses, furniture, etc.), and yard trimmings.

The new ordinance sets five service districts and authorizes the County to enter into one or more service agreements with a private company or companies to provide residential garbage service with no more than one service provider within each district. Fees for residential waste services will be made payable to Gwinnett County and will be billed as a residential solid waste fee on the same bill as county taxes.

Approval of a new ordinance is the first required step in the process of implementing a new solid waste management plan. Details of the service areas, costs, and collection logistics will be made available as soon as they are finalized.

###

Mike Beaudreau was quoted in part as stating, “I don’t think it’s perfect…”

Don Collins, government contract manager for Waste Industries, told commissioners his company took it on faith that the county would follow the court’s order and draw up a new plan in a public, above-board manner, but that the plan showed officials worked behind closed doors to satisfy members of the first lawsuit.

…Isn’t that why a Gwinnett County special grand jury is investigating the board’s land deals?…

“Even as our federal lawsuit continues,” Collins said, “your vote today confirms our position before the court that the county’s illegal trash plan is marching forward.”

Local news outlets report that despite not being allowed to address the board before the vote, citizens were vocal in their opposition after the vote. It was also disclosed that a new recall effort was being launched targeting Chairman Bannister.

    It’s my understanding that one of the overriding concerns that the board wanted to address for the citizens of Gwinnett was the traffic issues as it is effected by garbage haulers. For the life of me I don’t understand this. I find myself being delayed far more by postal trucks, UPS, FedEx and the worst offenders, school buses.

    There’s a project for Gwinnett County. Adopt a policy whereby school buses aren’t required to stop every 50 feet to pickup and offload kids. School systems all over this country, including GCPS, gripe about obese children… allow them to walk a few feet to and from the bus stop…

    That’s our opinion, we welcome yours…

  2. j.q.public Says:

    RINOs, republicans in name only. Republican mantra dictates smaller government and allowing the public to manage their own affairs in a free market society. Obama’s healthcare reform is an excellent example, republicans aren’t for it because it puts healthcare in the hands of government. BUT Gwinnett “republicans” believe that they should decide my waste disposal, how it’s paid for, how much it is and when I should pay it.

    Yeah, “republicans” they are.

  3. fwy545 Says:

    I do see garbage trucks from various services in our neighborhood on several days during the week, but they don’t take long to complete their business. I certainly don’t think that it’s worth relinquishing my right to chose my own waste disposal service in order to reduce this little bit of traffic. If you think about it, there will still be traffic to pickup all homes, and even more now that the county is mandating all residential homes be serviced. The only difference will be the number of days the truck will be in the neighborhood. The time spent in each neighborhood for each truck will actually increase.

County Mandated Garbage - AGAIN…

Share this post by email - 1 Comment - View And/Or Add A Comment »

Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners will again consider county mandated garbage collection. Even with lawsuits totaling in excess of $80 million still pending over the last board sanctioned solid waste plan, local media reports suggests that not much has changed in the new proposed plan. The biggest change is that Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful will not be the county appointed enforcer.

Points from the original plan still being considered:
• Service fee(s) to be included in county tax bill
• Expanded recycling
• Mandatory participation by all residents
• 5 zones to be established and serviced by one hauler

If approved, the plan is expected to take effect this July. The board will not allow public comment prior to the vote. Voting will take place at 10 AM tomorrow at the Gwinnett County Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville.

Bannister Asking For More Tax Revenue

Share this post by email - 2 Comments - View And/Or Add A Comment »

During today’s State of the County address, commission chair Charles Bannister called for a one cent sales tax increase. Bannister stated that should voters approve the new penny tax, it would generate approximately 150 million dollars in new revenue with 35 percent coming from non-Gwinnett shoppers.

Bannister is looking to put the penny sales tax on the ballot this November.

2 Responses To “Bannister Asking For More Tax Revenue”

  1. fwy545 Says:

    Purdue wants a one cent sales tax increase for the state so if both initiatives make it to the ballot and pass Gwinnett will be up to 8%.

  2. BG Says:

    Not to mention the 21% increase in Gwinnett property tax and the abolishment of the Georgia homestead exemption. How does the government expect its citizenry to get ahead?

Gwinnett Property Tax Valuations

Share this post by email - 1 Comment - View And/Or Add A Comment »

It is believed that given the current real estate market conditions most Gwinnett County property assessments are valued too high.

Gwinnett County has published the following on its website newsletter:
The Board of Tax Assessor’s Office will be adjusting the 2010 tax value on several thousand properties in Gwinnett County as assessors review the real estate sales and foreclosure data occurring in certain areas of the county. To make sure your property is included on the review list, you should file a Real Property Tax Return. The property tax return will allow you to declare your opinion of the value of your property.

If your value is not accepted, a Notice of Change in Assessment will be issued to you (scheduled mailing by mid April 2010). The notice allows you to appeal the value, which will result in a review process and possibly further into hearings.

The property tax return process begins with the timely filing of a Real Property Tax Return. You may visit the Tax Assessor’s web page at www.gwinnett-assessor.com to print a partially completed form between January 1 and March 1, 2010. Complete and mail the Real Property Tax Return anytime between January 1 and March 1, 2010. If you are mailing your return, it must be postmarked by the USPS no later than March 1, 2010. Your completed return will not be accepted via email or fax - no exceptions.

Should you have questions about the process, you may call 770.822.7200 or e-mail assessor@gwinnettcounty.com.

Bear in mind that your tax bill is the product of the millage rate x property assessment equation and Gwinnett County just increased its millage rate.

One Response To “Gwinnett Property Tax Valuations”

  1. CorinthHills.org Says:

    Received via email yesterday:

    PROPERTY TAX RETURNS DUE MARCH 1 IN FOUR METRO COUNTIES

    If you own real estate in DeKalb, Gwinnett, Hall or Newton counties, you have only until March 1 to file a property tax return with your county tax assessor’s office asking that your property value be lowered for 2010. Most other Georgia counties allow until April 1 to file. After that, your county assumes you agree that your property is worth what they currently say it’s worth, and your tax bill will be calculated based on that valuation.

    The only problem with that assumption is that literally tens of thousands of owners have seen their property values go down in recent months, but their local governments have failed to reflect that decrease in value. As a result, you can easily end up paying more property tax than you rightfully owe.

    The process of asking your county tax assessor to review your valuation begins with the filing of a single page form, PT-50R, the Georgia “Taxpayer’s Return of Real Property.” This form requires you to find out what the county currently thinks your property is worth, then you must state what you think the correct value should be. My advice: guess low.

    The form is available for download on my money99.com website. Obtain your parcel info and previous year’s value by calling your tax assessor’s office. Then, in Section C, you will need to estimate the value of your property as of January 1, 2010.

    The county is not required to ask you if you wish to lower your estimate of value unless they are proposing an increase. And most Georgia counties are content to let the current values stay as they are.

    That’s fine if your property value has held up well over the past two years, but many neighborhoods have seen significant declines in market value. And if that is the case in your community, or if you believe values have declined for your property generally, now is the time to file a return.

    Estimating value is a tricky business at best, and requires detailed information about recent sales in your area. Real estate professionals have access to this info, but may charge a fee for a “broker’s price opinion.” A formal appraisal is likely to cost substantially more. But the more facts and comparable sales info you have when you make your return, the greater the likelihood that your assessment will be lowered.

    In any case, there is no charge for estimating low, and it preserves your right to present your case to both the tax assessor and the board of equalization. Typically, one in three requests to lower the value results in some relief from the county. And once lowered, your assessment is likely to stay put for three years.
