Dale,
what a nice post, thank you!
-David
Dale - Wow I was a little surprised when I read your post. I grew up in Strafford County in a small town with no property taxes! It sounds like the people of Charlestown need to get pro active in their government. Thanks for the info.
Howdy there David, Kathie
Its sure a pleasure to have y'all stop by to visit, and to read and reply back to your comments, on this post about the Property Taxes of Charlestown, NH. Here at my little ole Blogging Homestead, my friends
David - Thank ya kindly
Kathie - I've had to get used to the the fees, and Property Taxs here in New Hampshire. They are alot higher here than they were back home. Two of the reasons they are high, is because New Hampshire dose not have a Sales Tax or State Income Tax. Which both of these kind of Taxs, help to keep Property Taxs and State and Town fees lower. This is the only State, that I've lived in. That has not had those two Taxes.
Dale I hear counties and states are looking for ways to raise money and by doing so fee's and taxes are the first line is increased taxes. Unfortunately increasing taxes put a burden on the tax payer. I can live with the increase but when they get a big pay raise I object to that.
Howdy there Carl and Ceil
Its always a pleasure to have ya stop by to visit, and to read and write a reply to the comments y'all leave on the blog posts, here at my little ole Blogging Homestead, my friends
Even after New Hampshire, raisen the State fees, they are taken way services to folks. But yet they all got a big pay raise. They've been closen State offices in Towns all over the State. Once they get in to office, they seem to forget who they work for.
Hi Dale - As I said I grew up in Stafford County (Lakes Region of New Hampshire), so I know all about the no sales tax and no state income tax. There are communities in New Hampshire that still manage to have no property taxes or relatively low taxes. It is all in how they are managed. The room & meals tax can go a long way towards paying for services if properly managed. Here in California we have sales tax, state income tax AND property taxes and the state is still broke! In Sacramento, politicians are looking at ways around Prop 13 (passed in the 1970's to limit the amount they are allowed to raise your property taxes). I do not think they will be successful or they would have a revolt on their hands.
Howdy there Kathie

Was not sure if you were talken about New Hampshire. From what I've been told Windsor, New Hampshire has the lowes Property Taxes in the State, Sunapee, and Newport's Property Taxes are lower than Charlestown and Claremont. Seen that Sunapee get a lot of big money folks living there part time from out of State. The State of New Hampshire passed a new Tax and Fee Bill the first of this year. Now when folks go campen here, they have to pay the Hotel room & meals Tax now, no matter what they use to camp in. And they took a big hike on that Tax even. Along with taken a big hike on Motor Vehicle Registrations. Along with raisen alot of the other State Fees.
These thing are part of the reason, I'm go-en be running for the Office of Governor.
