The Tax Man Cometh...

DigitalJohn · 11-15-2004, 01:24 PM

Just received an e-mail. The tax rate is $7.99/1000

From the Tax person

"At long last we have the tax rate confirmed. It is $7.99 per thousand dollars of your new valuation.

I am not sure when the bills will be mailed as the Selectmen's Office is having trouble bridging the new assessed values over to my taxing program. I hope to have them in the mail by November 24th, with a due date of December 27th."

When you received the e-mail, did it indicate when the bills will be sent out? Or more importantly, when they will be due? Typically bills go out in the middle to end of October and are due December 1. I hope they don't expect the bills to still be paid by the 1st. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a "townie" from Moultonberry and I must agree that the property owners are getting the short end of the stick.

I can see not allowing a property owner, as opposed to a resident, to vote. After all you vote in your own town. I do feel, however that any taxpayer should have a right to speak their mind, voice an opinion, maybe give some advice. You just might have an idea or two that we hadn't thought of.

The real issue is value. Even the locals get very little for their tax dollar. Lets see...No town water...No town sewer...No trash collection...largely a volunteer fire department (awsome folks!). If it was not for our school (by the way thanks folks!) and our large police force we don't get much at all for that $7.99.

PS FLL...Your issue is not the 8% tax. It's paying $1.09 for a whoopie pie! Geez. It would take a "dealer in most everything" to charge that!
