Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln Finance Committee - "Town Capital Capacity" presentation

I believe the tax rate is determined in reverse. That is, the board determines what tax revenues are needed and then calculates the tax rate necessary to achieve those revenues. So if up-to-date home values are used in that calculation, then they would automatically be accounted for. On Thu, Sep
