There is no question that assessment plays into the equation, but it is far more driven by tax rate......
See:
http://revenue.nh.gov/mun-prop/munic...2014-local.pdf (the latest grand list totals that I could find)
Alton: $1,518,990,817.00 Tax Rate $13.85
Wolfeboro: $2,013,269,984 Tax Rate $13.01
Gilford: $1,571,339,584 Tax Rate $18.30
Laconia: $1,815,646,944 Tax Rate $22.40
Assuming you purchase comparable properties in any of the above referenced towns... your property taxes will be significantly different.
