Readfield sets 2026 mill rate at 11.38; tax commitment posted online
Summary
Select Board recorded the 2026 tax commitment and reported a mill rate of 11.38. The assessor and manager noted taxable valuation and that bills will be mailed in the coming weeks.
Town Manager Eric presented the town's tax-commitment documents for 2026 and said the board of assessors approved the package earlier in the day. He reported the town's mill rate as "exactly 11.38" and said the packet (including the three-page tax-commitment materials) is posted on the July 27 meeting page.
Eric and other members described the mechanics: the assessor pairs property valuations with the budget to derive the mill rate, and while assessed values went up, factoring means that changes in mill rate do not automatically translate into higher taxes for every homeowner. Eric said bills will be mailed in the next couple of weeks.
