Update
The ballot was finalize on Tuesday, October 21st. The calculator has been updated to reflect the two override amounts that will be on the ballot: $9.3M and $12.5M, and we have also included a section that compares all three possible outcomes side-by-side.
This article, however, remains presented as it was at the time of publication.
The Override Study Committee recommended $12.5M, but we don't know yet what the final ask will be. That's why we built a calculator to help folks explore different scenarios.
Try our Override Calculator to see what various amounts could mean for your household:
During budget info sessions, many residents said they voted NO on the last override simply because they couldn't understand the personal impact. This tool aims to fix that by allowing you to search your address, automatically pull your assessed value (from Patriot Properties' public record), adjust the hypothetical override amount, and instantly see your estimated tax impact broken down annually, quarterly, monthly, and even daily.
We didn't build this to tell you what to think, we built it to help you understand the impact of different override amounts on YOUR household.
No decisions have been made yet. This is your chance to understand the potential impacts. Run your numbers today and let the town know what you think!
