The board also noted that the FY2027 proposed budget for the assessor's office is under review by the selectmen and finance committee. The town meeting originally scheduled for June 15th has been rescheduled to June 29th at 7:00 p.m. at Ford Middle School. Real estate personal exemptions will be available after July 1, 2026, and applicants are encouraged to sign up in the summer and fall to see the credit on their January bill.
