Dick, I'm with you.
Another important point is that assessments are only significant relative to our neighbors. The town decides its revenue needs then looks at the total assessments, then sets the tax rate to meet its needs. If the town is "charging" you $1700 for your driveway or dock or sunroom, then it is simultaneously reducing the tax burden on your neighbors who do not have taxable docks, driveways or sunrooms.
