Hubbardston tables tax-classification review; members say they were not notified about Appellate Tax Board hearing
The board said the tax-classification review will be tabled until the state provides the requested information.

"Tax classification review, we have to table until we hear back from the state," said Staff member, municipal staff. Members raised concerns about an Appellate Tax Board (ATB) hearing that occurred online and said they learned details only on the day of the hearing.

"Will anyone in town administration or select board get back to us and notify us as to why we weren't brought into that meeting at least in order to see what it was about?" asked Member 1, reflecting concern that the board had limited notice. Member 2 explained that while a single member could attend, two members could not without calling a meeting because that would create a quorum.

Members discussed where recordings or video might be available; staff said the hearing was on Zoom and may be available on YouTube. The board agreed it will await the state's response and will convene a meeting to review tax-classification materials once the data arrives.

Ending: The board scheduled a follow-up meeting before Dec. 17 to review tax-classification materials once the state provides the information.
