[tummyman]

For those with lakefront property in Moultonborough, the latest preliminary assessments spell bad news for most, with increases in land and total property values way out of line with market realities. Land increases in the range of 25-30% from last years full evaluation are not uncommon. Increases in total assessments of over $200,000 are also not uncommon. If you own lakefront in Moultonborough, pay close attention to the recent mailing from town and be prepared to file for abatements after you receive your December bills. Remember, your tax rate per thousand is going up by at least $1.25 for the new statewide education tax and another $,15 or so for the cost of the new nursing home being built in Ossipee. Many wil see tax bills going up over $1000 per year....and that is before the hit of these new taxes on top of the prior rates. There is also time to call for an appointment to go over your assessment and voice your concerns. After all, this market has not seen such incredible increases in real estate prices in the last 12 months. Pay attention.......... and don't be humble and just accept the values without contesting them !!!
