Debra, The tax property rate is only one of two factors that determine the property tax bill. Our property tax rates are not as high as other towns, but our assessed values are higher than most. As a result, our average tax bill is the third highest in the State. If you compare that tax bill to

Good morning, Just a couple of thoughts. 1. While the tax rates listed in an earlier post may sound reassuring, they should not. * Property taxes are calculated by multiplying your city's tax rate by the assessed value of your property and all the structures on it. In

School buses pick up children with mobility issues at their homes. Roughly 40% of all persons over 65 have a mobility impairment. This number increases with age. Now, just think of an elder who needs a walker going 1/4 mile to a shuttle stop -- not going to happen.

That might be quite hard for some seniors and those with mobility issues. Imagine an 80 year old, using a walker, walking to and waiting at a collection point/ bus stop, in rain, sleet or snow. Such a system might keep many housebound. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 27, 2022, at 1:54 PM, Joanna
