frontage assessment

Read a random definition: minus Latium

A quick definition of frontage assessment:

A frontage assessment is a tax that a property owner has to pay for local improvements like sidewalks or sewage lines that are next to their property. It's different from a regular tax because it only applies to properties that benefit from the improvements. It's like paying for a special service that only you and your neighbors use.

A more thorough explanation:

A frontage assessment is a type of municipal tax that is charged to a property owner for local improvements that abut a street or highway, such as sidewalks, pavements, or sewage lines. This means that if a property owner's land is adjacent to a public improvement, they may be required to pay a frontage assessment to help cover the cost of that improvement.

For example, if a city decides to install new sidewalks along a street, the property owners whose land abuts that street may be required to pay a frontage assessment to help cover the cost of the sidewalk installation. This is because those property owners will benefit from the new sidewalks, as they will make the area more accessible and attractive to potential buyers or renters.

Another example of a frontage assessment might be if a city decides to install a new sewer line along a street. The property owners whose land abuts that street may be required to pay a frontage assessment to help cover the cost of the sewer line installation. This is because those property owners will benefit from the new sewer line, as it will make it easier and more convenient for them to connect their properties to the city's sewer system.

I just noticed that UMich has the majority of their acceptances really early on. Does anyone know what happens to mid-November applicants? Are we just cooked?

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34
like am I expected to send it unprompted or can I wait until a school requested it
Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38
Yeah, then I would just wait as long as you can to send it
texaslawhopefully
18:38
For like HLS at least, if you wait till J6 then you may already have a decision
TGM
18:39
@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)
18:39
Yeah I would delay as long as you have plausible deniability
TGM
18:40
I actually do have a transcript issue that registrar needs to resolve, should I say that
TGM
18:41
(Course marked as Incomplete that’s supposed to be removed)
TGM
18:41
not sure if I should email them to say that, or just hold off on sending it and not give an excuse
18:41
I think I just wouldn’t reach out and if they ask for them then say that
Dkk
18:41
