Florida woman pays $11,075.44 tax bill in $1 bills, pennies

Eleven-thousand and one, eleven-thousand and two ...

Local government workers in Pasco County, Fla. counted an $11,075.44 tax bill in $1 bills and pennies on Monday after a resident staged a protest using a boatload of cash. The Pasco Tribune reported Julann Roe, a Libertarian with more than a small quibble about paying taxes, dropped off the sum as a property tax payment for her 41-acre estate.

County staff spent more than an hour counting the bills, according to the story, but they aren't likely to find any sympathy in Roe, who has spoken out repeatedly against tax hikes and pay increases for government employees.

“I do not feel obligated to pay for any wage increase for any county employee,” she said at a meeting this fall, according to the Tribune. “Stay within your means because we don’t want anymore taxes.”

Earlier this year, a California man paid five years worth of property taxes — almost $15,000 — with a pile of small bills and change he wheeled into the Shasta County offices in a green wagon, according to ABC News. The man's house was scheduled for auction unless he paid the taxes.

A Quebec man tried a similar stunt in 2010 by filling a kid's pool with $213,625 pennies and bringing it to Ripon city hall, where he intended to grudgingly pay his property tax bill while making his frustration clear, according to a QMI Agency story.

He was told to take out his cheque book — the city wouldn't accept his small change.
