In the town budget, general fund expenditures of $4,508,505 have been warned, $2,829,605 of which will be raised by property taxes and $1,499,900 in estimated non-property tax revenue for the fiscal year. $179,000 will be applied from the 2017 general fund balance.
The budget reflects a revised estimated tax rate of $.3623, an increase of $.0289 increase over the current rate of $.3334.
Voters will also decide whether to rescind the 1 percent sales tax portion of the town’s option tax and require property taxes be paid in three installments in August, November and February.
