Lets face it, vroom does make some good points. I have read all these posts and digested everyones comments. Still there is a point where property taxes become overwhelming. I think that the high tax burden in some New Hampshire towns has made the down turn in the housing market more painful.
Buyers are turned away from moving forward with purchasing some fine properties when they see that on top of a mortgage payment is a $1000 or greater a month tax payment.
Now I know I have sturred up some negative sentiment from the full time N.H. residents, but if the tax situation continues to spiral out of control who will be able to pay their taxes? Not many people will be able to retire here.
The real estate market will continue to suffer and condo development will continue because thats what people will be able to afford.
So let all of the tax payers be heard. Whether full time or part time residents, all should have a say as to how their tax money is spent.
