I actually really love having 4 seasons. Talk to me in February and I'll be changing my mind on that! I don't like the heat, I really don't like humidity and I would rather fight bears than parasites. Plus they'll be going to sleep soon anyway;)

@Latestarter the price of property up here is really ridiculous isn't it? We added nothing to our property and our assessed value just went up by $10,000!

I'd be in the tax office screaming my head off.

Wouldn't do you much good... the good folks from the "richer state" below them (Taxachusetts) buy vacation property up there in NH and bid the value/prices way up.

Recognize that "assessed value" does not equate to "increased taxes". Presumably all parcels would increase the same percentage with no other individual parcel influences (like building improvements). When the city/town sets their budget and taxes for the year, the budget is divided by the grand list. No one's taxes should go up in actual $$ unless they did improvements or the city/town said "we need more money" and if they go up for that reason, they would have gone up the same amount based on the prior assessed value.

Oh actual taxes are going to be brutal because the people who wish they live in what @Latestarter calls "Taxachusetts" voted in a 23 million dollar (give or take) renovation to the high school. Primarily for making it prettier and adding an auditorium :he

But the reassessment isn't the cause, nor will it affect how much of it YOU get to pay ;)

Posting this only because people seem to think that when a town does a reassessment and their house is worth more now that their taxes will be higher because of that. The killer is when some idiot pays way more for a house than it is worth because they WANT it and have too much money, then the town decides all similar houses are worth more than they really are at the next reassessment.

Yes but when the people who do the reassessment are from out of town and have no idea what they're talking about the numbers can be a little absurd. And I haven't confirmed that everyone's reassessments went up, it was a new company so they could have just hit some people more than others. I have to schedule a meeting. We have multiple smallish buildings on our property, my husband's work shed and our goat houses and chicken coops. They are all on skids, so they're movable and we can't be taxed on them. We have to make sure they didn't tax us on them anyway.
