Selectboard unanimously approves FY26–27 tax rate
Summary
The Sandgate Selectboard voted unanimously to adopt the FY26–27 tax rate after a presentation by town official Jessica Lewis; the minutes note shifts in municipal and school homestead/non-homestead rates but do not specify exact mill rates.
The Sandgate Selectboard voted unanimously on Aug. 3 to adopt the FY26–27 tax rate following a presentation by town official Jessica Lewis.
Jessica Lewis, the minute taker and town official who presented the tax-rate worksheet, told the board the municipal tax rate decreased slightly because state aid increased. She said the school homestead rate edged down slightly while the non-homestead school rate increased. Selectboard member Joe Nolan moved to pass the tax rate; Selectboard member Linda Schmidt seconded and the motion passed with all in favor. The minutes do not specify the exact mill rates or percentage changes.
The vote came early in the meeting after attendance was recorded. The minutes do not record further discussion about allocations or the specific dollar impact on common property-tax bills. Any resident seeking exact mill rates or bill estimates will need to consult the formal rate sheet or contact the town office; those figures were not specified in the meeting minutes.
