I was looking at houses and land on Sinclair years ago and was told to stay away from Hancock because of the taxes. But that was also the pretty part of the lake as I understand. Deeper and less crowded.
We built in 2009 when the market was way down and falling. Taxes were always high but when we sold, we were paying more for 1500 sqft than we did for 4000sqft in Woodstock.
I must be wrong his house is unreal at the foot of Kennesaw mt .
No your probably right quite a few fancy houses around here.
I used to work with a guy who got fed up with high taxes and such so he decided to research on what the county officials were paying each year. He told us at work that he found out most of the people responsible for raising taxes in the county he lived in some were not paying anything or very little. When he confronted the officials soon there was an unsigned threatening letter n his mailbox telling him to keep his mouth shut or he and his family would suffer severe consequences.
Hancock is a trade off. Higher taxes with less county services, but lower housing prices (for an equal home) and more rural areas by the lake compared to Baldwin and Putnam.
