Yes I understand that but I’d like to know what it would be without the waterfront property rate

The property tax rate is the same for all real property within a town regardless of whether it is waterfront. The tax on waterfront property is higher because the property is worth more. Towns (like Moultonborough) with a lot of waterfront property have a lower tax rate because the costs of government are spread over a much larger tax base than towns with property that has a lower average market value.
