What would you do if your property tax assessment went up by 105%? Worse yet, imagine if you never received any advance warning of the increase. Envision opening your property tax bill to find you could no longer afford to live in your home. That is exactly what is happening to the citizens in Hampton, NH, as well as across this nation.
Join me Friday, January 9, 2009, from 9am to 10am, for Right Here, Right Now, as we talk with representatives from the Coalition for a Fair Assessment regarding their efforts to try to understand how the Town of Hampton came to this unprecedented increase; an increase that will see many people leaving homes they have owned for decades.
Right Here, Right Now, is heard exclusively on Portsmouth Community Radio, WCSA -106.1 FM, as well as streaming on the web (WSCA: Listen Live).
Follow-up:I would like to thank John and Linda Gebhart for their appearance. I heard from people in Barrington, NH and Porstmouth,NH concerned about the assessment process in their towns as well.
Feel free to visit the Coalition for a Fair Assessment web page for more information and up to date details, @ hamptontaxpayers.com
