SS - you are correct. I know more than one. Problem is that the City wants its cake and wants to eat it too. They want to enforce the rules about non-residency, etc, but when it comes to assessment time it appears that the blinders are on and little or no concession is made to the property value because of the "hotel" condo rule. I personally think it's outrageous that the city can expect someone to pay $10,000 - $12,000 in property taxes, but cannot send a kid to the schools, register a car, etc. If it were me I'd be exploring a class-action suit against the city. It seems that given the sheer amount of "hotel" condos in Laconia alone, there would be enough grass-roots support to justify a class-action suit. On the other hand, a welfare mom with 5 kids can rent an apartment in Laconia for $500.00/month and can claim residency and send all the kids to the schools.
