Our reporting has only offered examples that have been related to us by town sources. Those same articles have clearly noted that until the 2 upcoming budget requests have passed in referendum, and a new mill rate has been set, there is NO accurate way to estimate what any individual property owner's 2023-24 property tax responsibility will be. We encourage any reader or Newtown taxpayer with questions to direct them to the Tax Assessor's office, and not to rely on premature estimates or offhand comments as a guide.
Using the above mill rate on my new assessment, my taxes will go up $800 which is roughly 14%. Maybe someone will fill the potholes on my street now as my neighbors will have similar tax increases.
Sounds like a great opportunity. The Newtown Lions is also organizing a Clean up the Lighter effort in concert and coordination with the Earth day event on the Lawn of the Middle School on April 22nd. Come to the Lion"s Booth to get bags and gloves, fan out across Newtown and clean up a street, even the street you live on. Lets make it Nicer In Newtown. While your enjoying Earth Day at the Middle school check out the Lion's Mustanger raffle and the Duck Race tickets.
As for the road project I'm glad to see this work progressing so well. It will be a good improvement. It's exciting to see the progress they make each week
Thanks for the story. However is almost impossibly to read on mobile because of a bug that's been on this site for a while. About once every 10 seconds the page jumps back to the top. It can be hard to find your spot before it jumps again
