UPDATE Dec. 13th: Notice to Taxpayers
Tax Bills not printed yet (Dec. 13th)
The Town of New Hampton is still waiting for its Tax Rate. There are 4 parts that make up a tax rate (Town, County, Local Education and State Education), and the DRA (Department of Revenue Administration), who sets our tax rate. All that remains is transportation costs from Newfound Area School District (SAU 4). As soon as those are submitted and approved by DRA, our Tax Rate will be set and we will print and send the 2nd issue tax bills. The Town has been prepared and waiting for the other parties since the end of October. We remain in contact with SAU 4 and are getting weekly updates on their progress.
For those wishing to put any money toward their upcoming bill, we will be accepting payments. You will still receive a bill. It will show either a credit or that money is still due.
We are very sorry for the delay. We will post an update when we have more information.
