Marilyn Martin, Treasurer

A second tax bill went out this year because of a data entry error that occurred at the County related to a school district code for a new tax parcel. If you need a detailed explanation, please call the County Treasurer’s Office at 832-5065, or !! CLICK HERE !! to read the explanation in our 12/14 meeting minutes. Town officials caught the error, but unfortunately it was not in time to prevent two sets of tax bills from going out. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please disregard the first tax bill. If you’ve already paid the first bill, please include a note with your second bill to tell us what you prefer we do with your first check. Some people are sending a brand new payment and asking us to shred, disregard, or return the first one. Other people are sending a second check to make up the difference.

By law all tax payers are required to pay the correct amount as indicated by the second (revised) tax bill. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and ask that you include a note, if you already paid your taxes based on the first tax bill and are now sending a second payment based on the second tax bill.
