i wasnt a BPer 2 months ago when i was having yard estate sales to clear out all the junk the estate had left on the property but anyways, long story short, i held a couple yard sales.on the 2nd consecutive weekend a browser asked me if i had a permit and i explained how i had just closed on the property and the estate/sellers had left junk behind so i thought what better an oppotunity to see if one's mans trash is another's treasure and so was just holding weekend yard sales till most the stuff is gone and was told i still need a permit so i contacted BOE who said to register online for a temp reseller permit# and i did and then the online system flagged my SSN. i called BOE and they gave me the # to my local BOE field office where i consequently called in and was told to fax my SSN card so i did then they called to say the number field on my ssn card is blank (obviously it is not) so i asked them what do they want, me to expand the image in the fax so i did make an enlargement photocopy and faxed that then they called back to say theres a known problem with their fax machine that is cutting off enlarged images so i actually have to go in person to BOE and show them my SSN card. when i went into the BOE there was a long line (picture DMV!)

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

The county assessor-treasurer’s office is highly unlikely to refund property taxes paid by a non-owner -for any reason.  

@Ben Leybovich   keep in mind though one persons pig is another persons treasure..!!

Yep, county treasurer is where you should go.  

Written in plain, straight-forward language, this is a treasure trove that showed me that even I can make money in real estate.

A year ago I was elected a board member of it as the treasurer.

@Jamahl CochranBP is a treasure chest full of useful resources.
