As last year I will only return receipts when requested. I try to send receipts for payments received from mortgage companies so you know payment was made.
I WILL NOT BE COLLECTING TAXES AT THE TOWN HALL THIS YEAR since I have a new tax program which requires internet service allowing your tax payments to show up on the County Treasurer’s web site quicker. The town garage does not have internet service. I ask for your patience while working with the new program.
To pay by mail please send copy of tax bill along with a stamped self addressed envelope, for a receipt, to
Jane Ewing – Treasurer OR put in drop box in driveway
26394 Maple Grove Road up by house at same address
