Moultonborough is in a class of their own when looking at property taxes because of the huge tax base from lakefront properties. My Moultonborough house is worth roughly twice as much as my house in southern NH but the taxes are slightly less.

The Moultonborough tax rate is the reason the town spends like drunken sailors - they love to quote that tax rate and it provides a great smokescreen to have a bloated infrastructure.
