Norton Planning Board Approves New FY26 Tax Rates for Residential and Commercial Properties
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Norton Planning Board approved the fiscal year 2026 tax rates, setting the residential tax rate at $13.03 and the commercial, industrial, and personal property rate at $13.85. This decision finalizes an essential aspect of the town’s fiscal planning, impacting property owners across Norton.
The board’s discussion clarified that the residential tax rate, initially projected at $13.05, was adjusted to $13.03. Meanwhile, the commercial, industrial, and personal property rate was confirmed at $13.85. This adjustment follows a review process.
In other business, the board addressed vendor bills, including legal fees from KP Law for assistance with Appellate Tax Board cases and membership fees for the New England Regional Assessing Officers. These expenses are routine but necessary for the ongoing operations and legal obligations of the board.
The meeting also involved the approval of motor vehicle excise tax lists and the distribution of notices of action concerning previously approved chapter applications. Although these letters do not require further approval, they serve as formal communication to property owners regarding the status of their applications.
