From today's www.citizen.com, the state DRA, Department of Revenue Administration, has certified the Gilford property tax rate at $17.37/1000 assessed value.

While the town's overall gross valuation has decreased in value by $29,655,710, which is a 1.9% drop, the new rate of 17.37 is an increase of 2.8%.

And just think about this: Gilford is an SB-2 town so the expensive new building construction decisions like a police station are decided on March town election day, private paper ballots with the polls open from 7am to 7pm as opposed to the town employee dominated, midnight, raise-your-hand votes, held at the March town meeting.

While the social security checks will not, for the first time ever, be going up this year, your individual Gilford property tax will be doing what?

So, here in the New Hampshire lakes region, are you better off owning or better off renting?
