Default Fear Not The Tax Man

I'm in Alton.

Does any one here have any concerns that water front/view property valuations might be perhaps a little on the high side for out-of-staters and, conversly, perhaps a little on the low side for full-time residents?

I can't get this out of my head ever since I visited the town hall and looked up several specific properties (of which I have intimate knowledge, inside & out) of out-of-staters and full-time residents. In summary, based on my limited research, it looks like out-of-staters don't receive the same discount as full-time residents; when it comes to property assessment.

"Everybody pays their fair share. Its just that some are more fair than others."

I'm reasonably sure I"m being paranoid & its all in my head. But I'm still curious if others are suffering from the same malady as I.
