our tax bill was $12000/yr for just 1 of our NH properties.

We sold both our properties and bought a single property here in Scottsdale, that is roughly equal to the combined value of the two properties sold in NH.

Our property tax now is under $2000/yr.

Sure, you say, there is an income tax ... but when you retire, your income is next to nothing (atleast on the books)... and so an income tax is of no consequence.

Point being, NH real estate tax is a horrible way to fund government, especially for those on fixed income(read: retired). The taxes keep going up even though the income does not. I guess, if one has gobs of disposable income ... what better way to dispose of it then paying NH real estate taxes.
