Summary
Article 6 set tax installment due dates of Sept. 14, 2026 and March 8, 2027 and required physical or electronic receipt by close of business on those dates (postmarks not accepted). An amendment to add a 10‑day grace period was proposed by John VanSciver and failed.
Article 6 asked whether real property taxes should be payable in two installments with due dates of September 14, 2026 and March 8, 2027, and required payment to be physically delivered or received by the Town Office (postmarks not accepted), under Title 32 VSA Chapter 133. Greg Smith moved the article and Tom Soriano seconded.
During discussion, John VanSciver moved to amend the article to add a 10‑day grace period; Nicole Kesselring seconded the amendment and it failed.
