Clerk presents 2026 school tax rates; homestead rate edges up
Summary
Clerk reported proposed 2026 school tax rates: homestead 0.9915 (up from 0.9666) and non‑homestead 1.1323 (down from 1.1761); clerk noted these are school portion figures and not yet the final town tax rates.
Clerk Laurie presented the proposed school portion of the 2026 tax rates and explained these figures are not the town's final rates but reflect the school district portion.
Laurie reported the new 2026 homestead rate at 0.9915, an increase from last year's 0.9666 (a rise of roughly 3 cents), and the non‑homestead rate at 1.1323, a decrease from last year's 1.1761 (down about 4 cents). Laurie said she hopes to have a proposed town rate and the tax bill insert ready for the board's review at the first meeting in August once the grand list is certified.
Board members asked about timing for mailing tax bills and Laurie said she will try to have proposed rates and the insert prepared after the next grand list meeting so bills can be produced in a timely way.
