Board votes to impose state late-filed homestead penalty
Summary
The board voted to impose the state late-filed homestead penalty for this billing cycle after a brief discussion of implications for billing and administrative workload.
Following a brief administrative discussion about billing logistics, a select board member moved that the board impose and assess the state late-filed homestead penalty this year. The motion was seconded and approved by the board.
The discussion noted that collection of the penalty increases administrative workload (reprinting bills, updating escrow company notifications) and that the town historically enforces the penalty rather than absorb the revenue loss. The motion passed and staff will implement the penalty on applicable accounts.
