Palin cabins not noted in tax assessments

By RACHEL D'ORO
Associated Press Writer

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Records show that Sarah Palin has not paid any property taxes on cabins that have been built on two backcountry plots partially owned by the former Alaska governor.

It's unclear how long ago the structures were built, but records show that there are no tax assessments for the buildings. Property taxes were only paid on the land - and not the structures themselves.

The issue has attracted the attention of local tax officials who conducted a scheduled aerial survey of the property on Thursday.

Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, says it is not the responsibility of property owners to report structures that go up on their land. But local assessor Dave Dunivan says owners are required by state law to report any omissions or errors in their tax assessments.

2. Palin is just another rich Republicon welfare queen

Like Bachman --- living rich at the expense of other honest taxpayers.

Why do republicons all have such selfish, perverted Family Values?

3. I still dont understand how she's able to do that thing with her book...

.... take her PAC money and buy books with it, and thereby funnel PAC money to her personal account.

Why is that not illegal?

4. Hell she's a republican she don't have to pay no darn taxes.

that's what they are all fighting for. No taxes for the rich, the poor and middle class have that job.

5. They don't have building permits in Alaska?

Try putting those building up in Polk Co. WI. without a permit. I dare ya!!!

7. Kick

8. Republicans don't pay taxes

It is the responsibility of the owner to inform the council about new structures. In fact permits are usually required.

9. Exactly! But rules don't apply to Sarah Palin because

she's a maverick :sarcasm:.

10. is her family the mafia?

11. Former mayor and Governor doesn't get that buildings increase the tax valuation?

Right!

She should be assessed penalties and fines dating back to when they were built.
Or they should require that they be torn down. That's what happens in my area when people pull this kind of stuff.

Are they insured? for what value?
