Tax Deficit

It was brought to our attention last night by Sullivan Powers and Co. that there were errors in the tax rates adopted by the Selectboard for the FY23 and FY24 budget years. This has resulted in tax collections too low to meet budgeted expenses. We are exploring ways to make up the shortfalls over time to reduce the impact on taxpayers and to develop systems to ensure this does not happen in the future.

Thank you,
Sheila Duranleau
Chair, Washington Selectboard
