secondcurve,

You'd need to find out what the town's valuation (equalization) rate is. This is the percantage of the assesed value that you are being taxed on. Last time I checked (2003), Tuftonboro was taxing at 45.5%. Each town is different. Wolfeboro for example taxed at 93.3% (2003), but the tax rate was $10.94 per thousand.

If that's still the rate, your taxes would be around $3,215

425,000 *.455
-------------- * 16.63
1,000

Using the equalized tax rate is the only real way you can compare taxes on a town by town basis.

As IFF mentioned, if you feel the appraised value is too high, you can certainly file for an abatement.
