I think your confusing us with the other site RG. Haven't heard pos mentioned.
While I don't want to trade mine with TB but $125.00 a week for 52 weeks gets skimmed outta my pay for taxes on my POS house and 2 acre property, with only dead neighbors around

No confusion Tuna lol- just kinda read lotsa POS and awwww they dont contribute much here and there too.
 Know what ya mean Trout- my other two come to about that for Ed. too, cant wait to move later in the month an sell one.

My escrow account pays out over $11K in City/Town/School taxes with no services such as sewer/water/sanitation (septic/well/private waste removal).  That a lot of nights at the Tailwater Lodge.

Think of this... why should this lodge get slammed with taxes for a place that doesn't even exist??? It has not made millions yet...only invested thus far. Wouldn't one think that it would only hike taxes up region wide???? Is that fair???? Is that PC??? I think the 10 year adjustment is fair to all as no one in the region has ever paid taxes as high as most would assume this new tailwater should pay. Why should it start now??? In fairness to most tax payers in the region its a wise move in my eyes.
Upstate NY has always had promise for lower taxes in northern regions. Let's try to keep it that way. Maybe this thread should go to the off topics board

DB as far as a place to go for the kids there was just that little playground, that's  it and I hardly saw people in it.  Little to no community functions in there.   It will not be missed for that.   As rural kid everything is just so far away we just make due in our back yards.
 
As far as I am concerned the only POS out of staters are the ones that are drunk on the river, throw there $hit everywhere  and do not respect the fishing.     There are just as many POS in staters in my book.  
 
RG, HT, TB  I hear you on the taxes I just go my bill and I too have no water, no sewer and no trash pick up.   Just get the road plowed  at least 1x a day in he winter (usually if it needs it or not).   I scrimped and saved,  never went to a movie or out to dinner for a few years and  built in stages to get my house built and payed for and I will never own it.    500$  a month for taxes and the upstairs is not even finished.
 
Any taxes payed by the Lodge are better than none

I have water on a meter. No sewer or trash.
I pay what the assessor puts the value of my home not how much I make.
If I were to invest a hundred thousand in my home then it's value would go up thus my taxes go up.
Why should my neighbor pay less ?

Death and Taxes fellas,that you can count on

hot tuna

And that's a big problem,  it's what the Assessor thinks.  It is loosely based comp sales and without taking day's off from work, hiring an independent  appraiser and possibly a lawyer it is up to them.   Case in point  my neighbor has a house that is 500sf larger than mine, has more acreage by 20 acres.   Has an acre pond and was COMPLETELY remodeled 10 years ago due to a fire.   Took the house down to almost  the foundation and replaced EVERYTHING.   His assessment is 35k less than mine,  reason assessor gave me was that his house was built in 1985 and mine in 2003.   His house is actually newer than mine building wise.   Had the nerve to tell me that a pond does not add ANY VALUE whatsoever to the property.
 
Enough of this rant though.  

Business is in a biz for a profit , thus also adding to the value of the property. Business pay more in taxes then residential . It's businesses that are supposed to lower the tax base of the community as a whole. So if theirs is less then someone else is picking up the tab.
Unlike a Joe Dirt who only adds value from money out of his own pocket .

Quite right , enough bull crap, they will close in five to seven anyway . I will probably never step foot on the property again so who cares if NY gives stream access away .
Nuff said by me

Peace & Tuna

So it looks like they will start accepting us inmates 3/1/14 at a super low rate of $179.00 + tax .. Also will host the elite group of water hogs in June.. I can't wait and already reserved a room for 3 days for me and my corporate buddies, on the company credit of course :)
