With the Laconia property tax rate for 2022 set at $18.86/1000-assessed value, a Laconia condo valued at $250,000 will have a yearly tax bill of $4715.

With the Meredith property tax rate for 2022 set at $13.43/1000-assessed value, a Meredith condo valued at $250,000 will have a yearly tax bill of $3356.

With the Moultonborough property tax rate for 2022 set at $6.98/1000-assessed value, a Moultonborough condo valued at $250,000 will have a yearly tax bill of $1745.

With this new Laconia-Weirs Beach hilltop housing development, it is proposed there will be 48-condos built on eight acres all serviced by city water and sewer. There's a garage shown in the LaDaSun report so could be each unit will have its own attached garage to fill with car, boat, and water sports items like floor jacks, kayaks and paddleboards purchased locally at Walmart or some other store!

Maybe a vintage 1971 Norton Commando motorcycle could be happening in the garage?

The nearby Weirs Beach could become a HAPPENING place for car top kayakers and paddleboarders to unload and hit the big lake since it costs $2 or 8-quarters/hour to park your car at the city owned Weirs Beach beach parking lot, immediately close to the Weirs Beach channel and nearby big water for kayaking and paddleboarding just beyond the swimmer's float line at the public beach/swim area. .... Must be about ten parking spaces there, very close to the channel water for relatively easy kayak water entry. Heck, if someone really wanted to do it, they could move their kayak/paddleboard from their new condo, down to that Weirs Beach channel water via that Rt-3 sidewalk with a two wheel kayak trolley and save the $2/hr parking. Is maybe a 500-yard(?) walk down the nice Rt-3 sidewalk there, to get to the water.

Is even LESS money, $1 or 4-quarters to park at a space on nearby Lakeside Ave that's also close to the kayak/paddleboard channel unload area.

If this eight acre plot had been ten acres or more, it could have qualified for 'New Hampshire current use' property status that "encourages preservation of open space and conserving the land, water, forest, agriculture, and wildlife resources."

New Hampshire 'Current Use': https://concordnh.gov/295/Current-Use

Something tells me this new 48-condo development will speed up the proposed demolition of the old white & black 1885 historic house at 75 Lakeside Ave because all these new condos will be good(?), who knows(?), for business at Boardwalk Bar & Grill and it will get demo'ed for the extra land space, or something?

And last but not least, will the www.wowtrail.org 10'-wide walking-bicycling trail ever get built from Lakeport to Meredith with the Weirs Beach-ground zero location at its center Wow Trail spot? What do you think, or will it remain a basically TOTALLY unused railroad track with basically NO choo-choo trains?
