LYMAN/DAYTON — Both Dayton and Lyman residents will see tax rate increases, according to preliminary estimates.
Both towns last week approved municipal budgets, and both towns have also approved school budgets.
Lyman Town Assessor Gina Merry said that tentatively, Lyman’s mil rate will increase 8 cents, from $12.12 to $12.20. An 8-cent mil rate will increase taxes on a $200,000 home by $16.
Dayton Town Assessor Michelle Boisjoly said Dayton’s mil rate is estimated to increase by $2.60, from $18.27 to $21.07. A $2.60 mil rate increase will raise taxes on a $200,000 home by $520.
