BERLIN – The city's share of the 2013 Coos County tax bill will drop by $129,230 because of the higher valuations assessed to the unincorporated places of Millsfield and Dixville.

Coos County is engaged in a legal battle over the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration's appraisal of the Granite Reliable Power's wind farm in the two unincorporated places. DRA appraised the wind farm last year at $228 million. Coos County officials argue the county was told back in 2007 when it negotiated a payment in lieu of taxes agreement with GRP that the appraisal would be $113 million.
