Those of us that live here year round pay property taxes, also. We do not have an income tax, so ALL that own property pay taxes on the CURRENT market value of the property. If you make waves, they will realize they assessed you too LOW and your assessment may go up. I would be happy to be assessed on the low side (less taxes). You would either need to rent on the lake for the time you come up, or pay the taxman and have the privacy of your own home. That is the beauty of America, freedom to make choices. You need to ask yourself if it is worth what you pay in taxes to enjoy the property. I bet you won't complain when you sell the property and reap the massive profit it has scored you. I think the tax bill is a non-issue. Just a native's opinion.
