In Gilford, if you are on the water it is assumed that you have a view and it is not spelled out or listed on your tax card. There may be properties, not on the water, that have "view" listed on their tax card for purposes of determining the value of the property but there is not a "view tax". Although the view may be used to help determine what the value of your property is, the assessed value is determined by the overall value of the property. The current Equalization Rate in Gilford is 95.9% and the tax rate is $17.26 per thousand.

I have properties on the water in Gilford and Laconia and the view is not now, and has never been, mentioned anywhere in the assessment including on the tax card.

You should read this thread. I think you will find it interesting.
