I can't believe this story out of New Hampshire. One would think the view is included in the price of the house. Taxing the view is absurd. Of course the view factors in, but see part of the article below.
"But New Hampshire is different, because the state's views have become so sky-high valuable, and so fast. Statewide, one assessor said the maximum value added because of a view has jumped from a maximum of around $20,000 about 10 years ago to $200,000 or more now."
I guess NH doesn't have a sales tax or personal income tax, so the state tries to make its money via the property tax. OK, I get that, but c'mon. This is ridiculous.
