Next increase: taxes

Anyone else unhappy with their property assessment? We saw a huge increase in our cottage property: up about 120% over the previous amount. We owe it all to having waterfront, or so I understand.

We love the place, but Iain will be more than happy to tell you about all of the work that needs to be done on the cottage and outbuildings! People seem to be desperate for waterfront, however, and that is driving the prices up in the valley.

If we get another algae bloom next year like we did this one, however, I may have to contest the assessment after all.
