Summary
At its July 23 special meeting, the Tinmouth Select Board approved a town tax rate of 0.5584 and a local assessment of 0.0047, for a combined rate of 0.5631 — up about 2.5 cents from last year’s 0.5394. The board made the motion and approved it by voice vote.
The Tinmouth Select Board voted July 23 to set the town tax rate for 2026 at 0.5584 and the local assessment at 0.0047, producing a combined rate of 0.5631. "The town tax rate for 2026, that's calculated out at 0.5584, and the local assessment is 0.0047," said Speaker 1, a Select Board member, reporting the official calculations.
Board members noted the change reflects offsetting shifts in school taxes: "Last year’s total was 0.5394," Speaker 1 said, adding that the school homestead rate declined from $1.14 to $1.009 and the nonhomestead rate from $1.23 to $1.20. Chair moved to set the rates as presented, a motion that was seconded and approved by voice. The board did not record a roll-call tally during the meeting.
