Since August we have been working on and preparing for the 2023 Budget. Inside you can read "The Budget Notes" which includes our successes for 2022 as well as the challenges for 2023 and the planning for an exciting new service in 2024 -- a new library.
The town budget, while still $38,000 under the tax cap will increase by $36,792 for 2023. That equates to 1.9%. It is collected by adding $.07 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value of each property. If your house is valued at $400,000, you will see an increase of $32 for your town taxes. To be clear, this is the town's budget only, not the fire department, county or school, none of which we control. All normal tax exemptions will apply however, to your town taxes.
We have had a good run, keeping your town taxes down or flat for 6 years. The dual challenges between inflation and increased energy costs meant we could not avoid the increase for 2023. As usual, we will do our best to manage your money prudently while running the town efficiently. Please call or write the Supervisor or Councilmen if you have any questions.
