Putney ratifies late homestead exemption penalties affecting 27 filers
Summary
The Selectboard ratified late-homestead penalties for 27 late filers, estimating total penalties of $11,062.10 and noting the State and listers coordinate enforcement; minutes cite a possible penalty "ranging from 38% of the education tax."
The Selectboard ratified the late Homestead penalty for the tax year ending June 30, 2027. The minutes record there are 27 late filers with estimated penalties totaling $11,062.10. Aileen Tulloch moved to ratify the late homestead penalty and Rebecca “Bex” Slattery seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Board members and the public asked about enforcement; the minutes describe that listers work with the State to identify late filers and suggested listers could send reminder letters ahead of the October 15 late-filing deadline (the minutes note October 15 as the late filing date given automatic extensions). The packet language in the minutes also indicates that under certain conditions late or incorrectly-declared homesteads may incur a penalty “ranging from 38% of the education tax.”
