Question for those in the know: Is it now too late to question the vote on Brookhaven or to bring the article back for reconsideration? I believe that a...

John, Nancy, In addition to reconsideration, there is also a rarely used provision in our by-law that allows an article to be re-opened by a 2/3 vote. I...

I just received a the much discussed tax bill. For an unimproved house the increase was 9.6% over the last quarter. Is it high, low or as expected? Best, ...

I suspect that the increase, divided by 4; three of the 1/4ths added to the three previous payments, plus the incoming May 3 obligation pretty much gives us...

Jim and all, The 13% figure I gave out earlier is about right! And I have been mightily chastised. Oh well, 3/10th of one percent is a huge mistake when...

Jim, An increase in the assessment of your home will only increase your tax bill to the extent that it is greater than the average increase in town. If the...
Jim- it's a lot easier to figure out the increase than the formula you used, I think. Can't you just compare the line from last year that says Total Due FY2003...
Dear Mr. Snyder, The 12.7% value quoted by Mr. Barry refers to an increase in the ASSESSED value and not the property tax rate. We got our tax bill today also...
