Selectboard adopts FY2027 tax rates; homestead rate set at $2.8432
Summary
The Town of Bristol Selectboard unanimously approved FY2027 tax rates: homestead total rate $2.8432, non-residential $2.8897, and the police district rate $0.3507; totals with the police district are $3.1939 (homestead) and $3.2404 (non-residential).
The Town of Bristol Selectboard unanimously adopted the FY2027 municipal tax rates at its July 27 meeting. Selectboard member Michelle Perlee presented the recommended rates from the town's budget calculations: Homestead total rate $2.8432 and Non‑Residential total rate $2.8897. The separate police district rate was listed as $0.3507, bringing the total homestead rate with the police district to $3.1939 and the total non-residential rate with the police district to $3.2404.
Joel Bouvier moved to approve the rates as presented; Jessica Teets seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously to adopt them. The motion and vote conclude the formal rate-setting step for the 2026 grand list and allow town staff to finalize tax notices and related paperwork.
The consent agenda earlier in the meeting included authorization of warrants totaling $216,175.58, which covers several routine payments and obligations the board reviewed as part of routine accounting. The board's motion to adopt the rates completes the statutory requirement for setting the municipal portion of the property tax for the coming fiscal year.
