Tax assessors coming to invade your privacy

[longislander]

Redistribution of SWEPT was ended in the 2005 HB2 trailer to the 2005 HB1 Budget bill.

"SWEPT, a state tax that is retained locally by towns and cities"

You made my case.

The only case you've made is what can stick on a wall and see what happens.

A day in infamy!

And it isn't the date that you chose to purchase property in NH?

SWEPT isn't redistributed and has a hard cap...
What the voters in each town and school district decide among themselves is not a State level issue.

If you are unhappy with your property taxes - and most everyone is regardless of the amount - attend and vote the meetings.

If you're not a resident of NH... sorry, I don't see a future that option exists in.

"But the question over how to structure the tax, known as SWEPT, continues to fuel debates in New Hampshire."

What part of that is difficult to comprehend?

The original issue was the four rates of the the town tax, and that the state School Ed. and County were not, and are not voted on by the town voters. That is still fact, no matter how much is tried to be "swept" aside.

If you are unhappy with your property taxes - and most everyone is regardless of the amount - attend and vote the meetings.

Looks like you swept this aside:

I knew in 1974 when I bought my first property that I had to pay taxes to Moultonborough. When I became a resident in 1996 I knew I could now, vote on town issues. Also knew/know non-residents cannot legally vote. Moultonborough taxpayers pay much less than most other towns, even with crazy sales and assessments, and I'm very happy about that fact ... not conjecture.

I also attend every Moultonborough Select Board business meeting, and annual town meeting, and annual school district meeting. Do you? I'm still not unhappy with Moultonborough taxes; quite the opposite. You can read?

If you're not a resident of NH... sorry, I don't see a future that option exists in.

When I became a resident in 1996 ...

Might I suggest this for apparent skills, or lack thereof:

I read extremely well, but realized that you are not the only reader.

And since you attend, you must realize that as adults, we do not always get our way... sometimes we must bend to the will of the majority.
If I couldn't accept that, I would simply move.

Have a nice trip and Godspeed!

I'm not leaving. I am not upset with the situation.
I have never felt the property tax unfair, nor have I ever expected that the town voting... or any voting for that matter... would always go my way.
