The View Tax

Many factors help determine the worth of a home, including the size of the house, the land it sits on, and the surrounding properties, but none have caused more friction lately than the so called “view tax”. We’ll look at what it is, why it’s a hot issue right now and what’s being done about it in New Hampshire, including a newly formed legislative committee to address assessments based on view. Laura's guests are Gary Roberge, President, Owner and Senior Appraisor of Avitar Associates of New England, the company that does assessments for more than half of the communities in New Hampshire, and Paul Carreiro, Selectman in Orford.
