Isn't Mark Stein in Northern NH?
He could be. NH has become a destination now for people looking for low tax in the northeast. Yet, you are still within a 2-3 hour drive of Boston or Montreal. Four to five hours from NYC.
There are smaller towns that have very low tax burden in comparison to almost every other place in the USA. An example would be a town like Tuftonboro, NH. This town does not have a school system in town. Most of the residents are seasonal or retirees. The few kids in town go to a neighboring town school system. The houses that pay the bulk of the real estate taxes are on the lake shore of Winny.
IF you buy a house not on the lake your taxes are less than $3K/year. When you factor in that NH has ZERO income or sales tax it makes towns like this the lowest tax burden in the lower 48.
