Sharon sets FY2027 municipal tax rate at $0.9160
Summary
The Selectboard adopted a FY2027 municipal tax rate of $0.9160 with a grand list of $1,627,500 and a veteran's offset of $0.0026 after a presentation by Town Lister Ken Wright; the motion passed unanimously.
Town Lister Ken Wright presented the municipal tax rate for fiscal year 2027 and told the Selectboard that rates had not increased significantly from FY26 and that the town had two property grievances this year.
The Selectboard set the grand list amount at $1,627,500, established a municipal tax rate of $0.9160 and a veteran's offset of $0.0026. Scott Henkels moved to set the rate, Ted Austin seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: setting the municipal tax rate is a core fiscal decision that determines local property tax bills for the coming year. The modest change in the rate and the small veteran's offset were presented as consistent with recent years.
What's next: the tax rate will be applied to the FY2027 grand list; any outstanding grievances will be processed per statutory timelines.
