Finance Board Keeps Mill Rate Flat

For the fourth year in a row, Westport’s Board of Finance tonight unanimously kept the mill rate flat at 16.86.That translates into $16.86 of taxes for every $1,000 of a home’s assessed value determined by the revaluation three years ago. But members expressed concern that keeping the mill rate flat will be difficult in future years. Said Lee Caney: “Pulling rabbits out of the hat next year may not be doable.”  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
