When you make out your check for your property taxes, who do you make it out to?
The reason I'm asking is that in my town, we make out our checks to (Person's Name), Receiver of Taxes. So if the Receiver of Taxes name is Joe Blow, I would make out my check to Joe Blow, Receiver of Taxes.
This has always struck me as odd because what is to prevent a local slug like Joe Blow to take a check here and there that might not include his title and deposit it in his own account?
Call me paranoid if you want but our locals have never had a reputation for honesty.
