Residents Approve $97.6M Budget; Mill Rate Drops
For the first time in five years, the mill rate is heading down after residents approved a $97.6 million budget on May 14. More than 2,200 voters of the town's 13,628 registered electors turned out to approve the 2024-'25 fiscal year budget at a referendum on May 14. The Board of Finance (BOF) met on May 15 to set the town's mill rate at 22, breaking a five-year trend of increasing rates. Since 2019-'20, the mill rate is up 5.71%. The new 22 mill rate, which will go into effect on July 1, represents a 26.6% drop from the current 29.97 mill rate. In real dollar terms, the current 29.97 rate means that a person with a home and lot assessed at $100,000 would pay $2,997 annually in property taxes. Under the new rate, that same valued property would now pay $2,200 annually in property taxes.
