Hartland Selectboard approves FY26 tax rate, raising municipal rate to 3.1364
Summary
The Town of Hartland Selectboard voted July 21 to approve the FY26 municipal tax rate at 3.1364 (Non‑Homestead 2.1166), an increase of about 5% from the prior year; the motion passed unanimously.
The Town of Hartland Selectboard voted July 21 to adopt the FY26 municipal tax rate at 3.1364 and a non‑homestead rate of 2.1166.
Town Manager John Broker Campbell told the board the rate is “3.1364,” up from about 2.99 last year, representing roughly a 5 percent increase. After a brief discussion, Selectboard member Jim Rielly moved to approve the rates; Thomas Kennedy seconded the motion and all members voted in favor.
The tax rate decision follows the board’s review of FY25 revenues and departmental budgets. Martin Dole presented the FY25 budget update earlier in the meeting, covering revenues, HS122 penalties and tax delinquency, which informed the board’s deliberations on available balances and fund transfers.
The board did not specify additional exemptions or adjustments during the meeting. The approved FY26 rates will be used for the upcoming tax year assessments; town staff expect the official rate certification and related notices to follow the Selectboard’s action.
