We Want Your Input: Tax Rate Adjustment Survey
Date Posted: Thursday, May 8th, 2025As we plan for the upcoming fiscal year, our town is facing the need for a tax rate adjustment to ensure we can continue providing essential services and maintaining infrastructure. We are considering two options for how to implement this adjustment: Option 1: Apply the full adjustment in the upcoming fiscal year. Option 2: Spread the adjustment evenly over the next two fiscal years to reduce the immediate impact. We’re asking property owners and residents to help guide this decision by completing a brief survey. https://forms.office.com/r/55RhuVgQfv Survey closes on Monday, May 26th, 2025 Your feedback is important and will directly inform how we move forward. Thank you for taking the time to share your input! For questions, please contact Julie Goodyear, Town Manager at 302-378-8082 or via email jgoodyear@townsend.delaware.gov
