2024$2 million

Per resident: 2022: $1,114 · 2023: $1,204 · 2024: $1,156. Per resident it went from $1,114 to $1,156 (up 4%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 1,797 to 1,691.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
