Select Board accepts tax calculations, sets rate and signs warrant for collection
Summary
Laurie presented tax-rate calculations; the board accepted the residential rate (1.5224) and signed the tax warrant so taxes can be collected, noting the town-and-highway portion changed slightly from last year.
Laurie presented the town's tax-rate calculations and compared this year's and last year's rates. The board discussed the residential rate rising to 1.5224 from last year's 1.4403 and noted the town-and-highway component moved from 0.5817 last year to 0.5558 this year. The Chair moved and the board seconded acceptance of the tax rate as presented and authorized Laurie to sign the warrant for tax collection.
Members observed the school portion of the tax burden changed the net impact on residential taxpayers and noted the state now sets some school rates. The motion to accept the rates and sign the warrant passed by voice vote; Laurie will insert the rate into the minutes and proceed with collection steps.
