New Durham board approves tax commitment and confirms bills; due date set July 7
Summary
The New Durham select board approved a tax commitment read at the meeting (transcribed total $6,076,975) and ordered remittance procedures to the town treasurer; staff said tax bills would be mailed that day with a July 7 due date.
At the May 13 meeting, the New Durham select board approved a tax commitment the Chair read into the record and set administrative remittance rules. The record transcribes the committed total as $6,076,975, with interest at 8% per year from July 2026, and directs that collected taxes be remitted to the town treasurer (the discussion referenced RSA 29:6 for remittance procedure). The motion to adopt the commitment was seconded and the board voted in favor by voice (recorded as "Motion passes 3 to nothing").
A short clarification exchange followed about what would happen if the paper was not signed and a later brief exchange recorded slightly different numeric phrasing (the record also includes references to $6,000,001 and $1,616); the transcript does not resolve that discrepancy in numbers within the public portion.
Staff (S3) told the board that bills would likely be mailed that day; the meeting record states the part-due date as July 7, giving taxpayers a small window before interest begins accruing under the terms read into the record.
The board did not amend the interest rate or the remittance frequency during the session; staff were instructed to proceed with mailing and collections as described.
