To the Editor:

This is a reply to Skip Deckman’s letter (“Cost of Waterfront,” 7/7).

Mr. Deckman, you are wrong when you say that the beach tax rate is higher than the rest of Tuckerton because we live on the water. The town has always stated that there is only one tax rate for Tuckerton. Yes, the houses on the water have a higher value and do pay higher taxes than “upland.”
