Taxes

Actually it was 6%...Laconia uses strange math. The actual rate for July was

2 x 8.48 = 16.96

The December rate was 18.04

Net = 6.36% increase

The house is basically new, so I am guessing that the 17% increase was over a discount prior. The valuation does seem like full market value+.

If I rec'd a 17% increase in my taxes, I would want to know how they calculated it. It wouldn't hurt to get in touch with the Laconia finance department and ask them to explain the increase.
Good luck
