Assessors table sales data posting, adjourn to executive session
Whately assessors tied a land value dispute to the state's five-year review.
Other Committee · Meeting of September 24, 2026
Whately assessors tied a land value dispute to the state's five-year review. At its Sept. 24 meeting, the Board of Assessors discussed why East Whately land values differ from those in the Village Center and West Whately, with one speaker saying the state "won't let that slide" in a certification year. Members agreed to wait for the Department of Revenue's review of the town's property record cards, tabled posting sales data online pending Dave Manzello's draft language, and asked that LA forms arrive earlier than the week before the classification hearing.
Staff said senior work-off applications open Oct. 1 for five participants. The board voted 3-0 to enter executive session on specific properties.
