Center Harbor Assessments

Using the math above ($8.99 rate) with our new new assessed value would put our tax bill roughly level with years past.

I say new new because the original valuation letter we received said the town was taking appointments over three days for arguments from property owners. My husband called immediately and found the three days were full and he was given a later time. The person he spoke with confirmed they did immediately value any lot with direct waterfront at $2mm. We have not received the updated letter, but looking online at our property card the valuation has been updated - downwards.

What did they use as a standard waterfront lot size? 100 feet? What happens if you have 200 or 300 feet?

I don't think my husband got into it but from what I observed anyone who had waterfront land started at $2mm, regardless of lot size. So you could be on half an acre and be assessed at $2mm for the land. Or you could be on 10 acres and be assessed $2.6mm for the land. It looked to be more a baseline with not super significant escalation upward for size of lot.

Island waterfront and deeded access started at $1mm.

Got my tax bill today for Moultonborough, $4.38/per thousand, $1600/yr. My total tax went down by $400. I was expecting a big increase, I'll take it...

If it's still the same, you pay extra up to a certain amount of footage and then no more. I should remember that amount but don't.
