To the Editor:

Last year at this time I was wondering how my real estate taxes in Ship Bottom would increase. I assumed they would increase but not as much as it turned out. Let me explain.

I believe it was in the spring of 2017 that I received the new assessment. I’ll round off the numbers to keep it easier for me. My previous assessment was approximately $460,000 and it went up to $555,000.I said to myself, “That’s good, I think.”
