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.
