Don't forget that condo boat docks have been regulated in a similar fashion.

Although the docks are taxed at the same rate as real property (based on their value) as all of the other real estate in town the owners of the boat docks use little in town services.

For example: Mountain View Yacht Club. The owners pay taxes to the town of Gilford but cannot use the town beach, cannot use the town recycling center, don't get rubbish pick up and obviously don't use the school system.

With that being said, everyone who bought a dock knew the rules before they made their purchase.
