Taxpayers Urged To Pay A Little For Town Financing
Kennebunkport officials ask all taxpayers to voluntarily pay a portion of this year’s tax using last year as a basis to reduce borrowing. The town has $500,000 already borrowed and may need more if revenues lag. Tax bills are delayed until revaluation work, halted by the Whipple-Magane and Darcy firm’s shutdown, can be completed and verified by state assessments and a sales ratio study.
