[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start properly taxing the country clubs! And yes. I belong  and think that it is wrong.[/quote]

They are taxed at the agricultural rate, for keeping their area green space and not developing it.[/quote]

No. This is incorrect.[/quote]

If you're a private golf course with at least 50 acres and more than 100 paying members, and you're not Burning Tree, then you have a ten-year agreement with the state to be taxed at $1,000/acre. Market rate assessments are $12,500-$1.1 million per acre.

Burning Tree pays taxes on the market rate assessment, because they don't have an agreement with the state, because they don't admit women.
