There is a lot of false information regarding Tuesdays election and the tax impact (increase or decrease) that is associated with the results. Below is a list of all Town and School Articles and the tax impact each will have. The tax impact is based on the assessed value of your property for each $1,000. For example a tax impact of $1 with a $500,000 house would equal $500 in taxes paid to the town. This is NOT necessarily an increase, it is the taxes that will be paid next year. For a true comparison you would need to compare the taxes paid this year with the estimated taxes for next year. If the article is listed as ‘Zero’ there is NO tax associated to the article. The information below does not include country taxes.
