The future is not bright for Laconia. The tax situation going forward will only worsen.
I don't think Laconia is all that bad...

The Laconia tax rate has increased from $18.04/1000 in 2009 to $20.86/1000 in 2019 an increase of about 15.6% over 10 years... not too bad considering if the tax rate kept up with inflation we would be seeing a 19.6% increase over that same time frame.

If your taxes jumped in 10 years from $8000 to $13,500.... a 69% jump, I am pretty sure your home value has risen substantially.
