If indeed, the town has not sent in the form(s) in a timely fashion for me that is a very real problem. Now, this does not have an effect on me, being a resident of Alton. However, I can put it in a perspective that most property owners may relate to.

In my prior life, I worked in personal lines insurance for a couple of different insurance companies, and at times, we would send out "Renewal Questionnaires". These forms, conspicuously stated at the top and bottom of the firm, that failure to return the form before xxxxxx date could result in non-renewal of the policy.

I'm sure that the State informs towns that failure to send in the required documents will result in a delay in the results being processed. (If it was me, a form two months late would automatically find its way to the bottom of the pile).

Hopefully residents will remember who is responsible for the delay, especially if this ends up being a recurring problem.
