I don't understand why a crank up would not be also considered seasonal as well. They to are removed during the winter time, the method of removal to me seems irrelevant.
In order to do crank up, you have to have a permanent base on shore. That's a "structure" that requires a permit from DES. That's where the line got drawn for "temporary".
If you and your neighbors all meet the definition of TSD, you should be able to get an abatement. A lot of people hesitate on abatements because they don't want to be responsible for their neighbors having their taxes raised. Nobody knows if this really happens.

Specific examples would be helpful. The committee chair's (Rep. Christensen) email is [email protected]. He'll take info to the Assessing Standards Board.
