I believe MOOSE TRACKS message- post #13- is meant to relate the fact that, if you solely live in NH, the high property taxes are balanced-out by the lack of all the other taxes levied by other states (not that we don't have other taxes).



In other words, if you own property in NH, AND claim residency in another state, you aren't realizing the "balanced-out" effect of solely residing in NH. Hence, you are paying (what some consider to be high property tax, AND all the taxes you pay in your residency state.


Look at the property tax in neighboring states. If you are not waterfront in NH they are very reasonable. Even the commercial rates aren’t bad. My 30,000 sqft commercial building is only 30% higher in property tax than my home with a lake view. The average tax rate is skewed by waterfront and water view. The median average would be a better number for comparison.
