I don't know if you live in New Hampshire or if you are out of state but you should consider the taxes you will pay on a camp. New Hampshire doesn’t have sales tax or state income taxes. They do tax interest and dividends. Therefore they need high property taxes to support the state and towns. If you live and work in the state it is not bad because your overall tax burden is some of the lowest in the nation. If you are a resident in another state you pay the price. For lake side properties and properties with views the property taxes are even higher. The Tax Foundation found that homeowners in these states paid the most in property taxes:
1. New Jersey
2. Illinois
3. New Hampshire
4. Connecticut
5. Wisconsin
