Chester Seeks County Reappraisal Over Unequal Tax Burden
Chester Town officials fear the state equalization rate drop from 38 to 28 percent will raise taxes by about seven to eight percent. Supervisor Minneman says a county wide reappraisal may be pursued next year if the county does not act, while surrounding towns also show rate declines. A town board vote denied a zoning change for garden apartments, citing density controls and planning board revisions.
