I’m still dizzy from that, and confused why I would even consider moving. I could replace every appliances, my entire heating/air unit and even my roof for less than the tax increase foe ten years. Plus, I would give up my perfect location for a questionable location near a Fenny. WOW, what was I thinking. I love my house and I will stay right here.
I need some clarification, moving to Wildwood into a home half the cost you own now will cause your real estate taxes alone to more than double?

In that case, it would be good for you to approach the Wildwood commissioners for an explanation and get the word out to future purchasers. That fact alone, which you provided, will discourage many buyers from the Wildwood area.
