Wow I cannot believe the opposition on this issue!

If you where paying for a service you were not receiving you would not be happy either.

I'm interested to know which services--in addition to your road maintenance--should you not be expected to pay for in your tax bill?

Nothing just the road maintenance. Do your roads get maintained or even replaced when they are in disrepair or need to be plowed by your municipality? Well mine do not and we are paying the same tax rate as you.

Careful what you ask for because according to your logic as an non-bridged island property owner I get NOTHING from the town, no roads, no police, no town owned infrastructure, barely any fire protection, prohibited from using the school system, can't even claim permanent residency, so therefore I should pay nothing and I have no problem at all shifting all that burden on you. I see no reason why I shouldn't be tax free.

I am amazed, Joey, that you wold be chasing this cloud. Your posts and apparent experience seem to be far more knowledgeable than trying this tax relief scam. The towns follow state law on who can get tax relief (veterans) and that option must be approved by town meeting (City Council in Laconia, I believe). So you first need the legislature to approve enabling legislation, then you need the city council to approve. That pushes a greater burden on other taxpayers to raise the same money. NOT GONNA Happen. But you can pay lawyers and lobbyists big dollars to end up saying "Gee, we're sorry. We thought we made a good case, but it didn't even make it out of committee. Here's the bill."

Question:
What flavor Kool-Aid are you drinking?
I'm not trying to be smug or facetious, but the weight of experience is overwhelming. Don't give this organization any money.

Do you respond to Robo calls?
I really don't want to be rude here, but I think you've been seriously mislead.

Exactly this, especially the "I'm surprised you're chasing this cloud" piece.

There's no way a town could ever allow this to happen--ever. The precedent would set up all those things other people have identified: I don't use the school system, so no taxes. I haven't ever called emergency taxes, so no taxes. I don't drink water from houses on the far side of town, so no taxes...

Your a pretty funny guy. Hope it’s not how you make a living

My sister lives on a private dirt road and has since the 1980s. The town has never maintained this road. Neighbors contribute every year to do what needs to be done to keep the road passable.
