OK, let’s go with that. All other things being equal, why should one person who owns their home free and clear not pay any taxes, and their next door neighbor, who also owns their home free and clear, have to pay taxes simply because they are a part time resident? Either you own the home or you don’t. And part time residents typically utilize less services funded by taxes than full timers? Go figure, this whole property tax thing is just buying votes.
