Town tax receiver reports steady collections; parking permits near midyear renewals
Summary
The town tax receiver reported multi‑million dollar collections to date, described refund/adjustment procedures and said 596 parking permits are currently active with about 62 pending renewal before July 1.
Tax receiver Amarie Milano briefed the board on midyear tax and school‐collection activity, providing totals and payment‑method breakdowns. Milano said town and county collections to date are in the multi‑millions and that school collections were likewise large; she noted counter traffic (over 2,000 visits for one reporting category) and a significant amount of cash collected at the counter.
Milano described how stipulations of settlement handled by outside firms (Aventine Properties was named in her summary) produce reductions and adjustments that require administrative calculations and refunds when warranted. She said the town has processed roughly dozens of such adjustments this year and that staff will continue to reconcile amounts with the treasurer.
On parking, Milano said the town currently has 596 permit holders and about 62 people still needing to renew before July 1; the town conducts two permit cycles a year and prorates fees for partial terms. She explained the refund policy for retired permit holders (prorated refund minus an administrative fee) and noted staff preference for higher online payment uptake.
Board members thanked Milano and asked staff to forward the job description and warrant visuals referenced in her presentation.
No formal board action was taken; this item was an informational update.
