Shelburne Selectboard adopts 2026–27 property tax rates
Summary
The Shelburne Selectboard on July 2 adopted property tax rates for fiscal year 2026–27: $2.5938 for homesteads and $2.7102 for non‑homestead property, with the town portion set at $0.5870. The board noted the overall rate is slightly lower this year following state action on the school budget.
The Shelburne Selectboard voted July 2 to adopt property tax rates for the 2026–27 fiscal year, recording rates of $2.5938 per $100 of assessed value for homestead property and $2.7102 for non‑homestead property. The town’s portion of the rate was listed as $0.5870.
The motion to adopt the rates was made by Vice‑Chair Luce Hillman and seconded by Mike Ashooh; the minutes record the motion passing 4‑0. Earlier in the meeting the board approved the agenda in a motion moved by Luce Hillman and recorded as seconded by Andrew Everett; the minutes record that vote as 5‑0. The minutes also list Andrew Everett as absent.
Board members discussed how the final rates differed from the estimates presented before Town Meeting. The minutes say the overall rate is slightly lower than the earlier estimate because of state legislative action affecting the school budget; board members expressed ongoing concern about long‑term education financing. No specific changes to the adopted Town budget were recorded in the minutes.
A video recording of the meeting is available through MediaFactory.org and the written minutes note they are a synopsis subject to correction at a future Selectboard meeting.
