June Topic: Setting the Tax Rate
Setting the municipal tax rate is a key part of the municipality’s financial processes, but it comes with many considerations: grand list values, exemptions, and voter-approved spending. Join this session to go over the steps involved, discuss common challenges, and hear from others about their approach.
