DETROIT — A City Council member paid only $68 in property taxes this year because city records showed her home doesn’t exist.
JoAnn Watson, 58, said she was unaware of a city records discrepancy that has, for the past decade, listed her house as an empty lot even though the brick Tudor-style home has been occupying the plot since 1926, according to a story Sunday in the Detroit Free Press.
Watson said she receives her property tax bill separate from her mortgage bill and never questioned why her taxes dropped.
