Your tax is based on land value plus improvement value or the value of the house. The house was destroyed 12 days into the tax year. I would expect the land still has value but to still have to pay for the house after it is destroyed is just wrong.
I am sure the amount of taxes these few cottages bring into the town were eclipsed by the new homes built last year. If the facts are true in the first post I have no compasion for the towns decision to charge a full year of tax.
