With the city tax rate being released sometime after Thanksgiving, city treasurer and tax collector Dawn Enwright gave a timely presentation on how the tax rate is set during a special Board of Aldermen meeting on Tuesday night.
“I didn’t realize that I had lost credit for the prior year until my July bill this year,” he said. “When I noticed it was not there, I came into the assessor’s office and they pointed out that I didn’t receive it for the prior year either.”
Nashua resident Rhonda Rieth Bernier said her 80-year-old father paid his June tax bill, not realizing he was put in the wrong elderly exemption category. This resulted in him overpaying more than $600.
According to Aldermen Ernest Jette, the plan is an attempt by the mayor to get a handle on bonding, as he is worried that bonding expenses and interest may end up putting too heavy of a burden on Nashua taxpayers.
