Reappraisal lead Ryan Silvestri briefed the Select Board on the town’s reappraisal process and outcomes, reporting 608 informal hearings, 280 formal grievances and 15 remaining Board of Civil Authority appeals. He said the town’s Grand List increased by approximately $967,000,000 — roughly a 59% change — and that the CLA was 100% this year.
Silvestri also noted the addition of a new LUC81 category for "Utility other" to capture telecommunications intangible property and explained the difference between LUC80 tangible categories (poles and lines) and the new LUC81. Board members asked clarifying questions about the CLA and how the reappraisal affects municipal tax rates and education tax shifts.
