About

Welcome to the Town Finances page. Here you will find several of the Town’s primary budgetary and financial documents. We hope this helps you understand more about the Town’s budget and financial condition and how your tax dollars are spent.

Financial Policies

The joint Selectboard / Advisory Committee Financial Policies document established a framework to ensure future fiscal stability for the Town and serves as a foundation for long range financial planning.

Budget and Capital

The FY27 Budget and Capital Planning cycle will end with Annual Town Meeting in May 2026. Over the cycle, meetings and presentations referenced below will be held and their information will be added to this page. Until then, some or much of this section will be placeholders for information to come.

Budget Guidance for Department Heads from Selectboard

FY 27 budgets should reflect the restoration of essential services that may have been reduced or eliminated as a result of level funding in previous years. Departments should provide a written explanation that clearly outlines their submitted budget. Salary and wage expenses should be level funded. A COLA adjustment will be determined later. All increases/decreases should be explained and/or justified.
