Taxation w/o representation!

Dear fellow forum members:

Help me off the floor! I just received my new property assesment for my little cottage in the Tuftonboro woods and I was floored to find the assesment on the place has swelled to $425M, for something I paid $120M for 10 years ago. I know real estate sales have been brisk, but properties like mine haven't been selling for anywhere near this. I am not sure if I will be able to keep my place! This is so unfair. I live in Vermont and come here on the weekends. My local association maintains the roads (plowing & repairs), we buy water from a private water company and I bring my trash to the dump myself. Just what is Tuftonboro charging me for? This is so unfair. The only group that pays any taxes here are the property owners. Does anyone know what the tax per thousand will be?
