Weybridge board directs staff to reconcile delinquent-tax records and calculate owed interest

Select Board members discussed several delinquent-tax situations raised by the town's delinquent-tax collector, including bounced checks and partial payments. The collector asked for authority and a clear paper trail so interest and fees are applied from the original delinquency date; the board asked staff to assemble dates and payment histories so the interest owed can be calculated and reported at the next meeting.

The collector explained the statutory approach to interest and penalties and said partial payments are typically applied first to interest and then to principal and fees. The board agreed staff should gather records from the treasurer/payroll system and provide a concise report showing outstanding balances and collections since the last report. The board reiterated the need to treat residents equally and to follow statutory requirements for calculation and notice.
