Staff delivered the director’s report with several administrative deadlines and outreach plans.
The office reported that the second-quarter (.25) tax bills are expected to be mailed prior to Oct. 1 and, because Nov. 1 falls on a Sunday this year, payments will be due Nov. 2. "It is anticipated the 2nd 0.25 tax bills will be mailed prior to October 1 with a due date typically of November 1, but November 1 does fall on a Sunday this year. So the tax bills...will be due on November 2," staff said.
Staff also confirmed receipt of the 2027 boat commitment and reminded registered boat owners that annual filing by Aug. 1 is required to avoid full excise tax liability, with limited abatement possible if returns are filed by Oct. 31. The office will begin accepting real estate exemption applications for seniors, widows and veterans in early November with a deadline of April 1, 2027, and will present information at a senior center outreach event on Oct. 15.
