The Town of Weston Selectboard voted unanimously on Sept. 8 to reverse $10,008.09 from the Delinquent Tax List, an amount tied to 2025 FEMA buyouts.
Kim Seymour confirmed the outstanding balance related to FEMA buyouts and the board approved the reversal without questions. "The total write off is $10,008.09," the minutes record.
Resident Gretchen Hauser asked the board to revise Delinquent Tax Policy #4 to add that "Partial payment will be applied proportionally to the principal amount of tax, interest and penalty." Hauser also recommended that payments be applied to the oldest delinquent bill first and urged the town to address issues with postmarks—asking the post office to hand-postmark envelopes when residents drop them off—while noting that a postmark should not be treated as a payment date for delinquency purposes unless explicitly allowed by policy.
The Selectboard agreed to work with Hauser to update the Delinquent Tax Policy as needed.
