Select Board weighs listers’ Act 75 certification, estimates $2,606 in training costs
Summary
Board reviewed a letter about Act 75 requiring level-1 lister certification in 2026 and heard an estimated training budget impact of $2,606.78; the treasurer noted a small matching grant might cover up to $520.
The Middletown Springs Select Board reviewed a letter from Jill Remnick, director of property valuation review, confirming that Act 75 will require each lister to obtain level-1 certification in 2026. The chair read the letter into the record and the treasurer summarized the likely budget impact.
The treasurer told the board that DBR estimates the training will include "48 hours of class time" and that, "based on salary levels for this year, this will require a VISTA education budget of $2,606.78." The board also discussed whether small grant funding could offset the cost; staff reported a potential grant application could provide at most about $520 that would apply if eligible.
