Property taxes, you say?
A local contractor bought a beachfront house near here about 30 years
ago.
The taxes were based on 'frontage' i.e. road side dimensions. In his
case, about 200'.
Then they changed the tax laws to 'water frontage'
His property is in a bight and therefore wedge shaped. He has about
800' of beach there.
Also, anything over a certain acreage, non farm also has a premium.
TMALSS.. his taxes went from $ 4600.00 to...(you ready for this?) $
39,000.00 per year
He appealed, Too bad, so sad. Mind you, the property is probably worth
4-6 million.
