The Grand list is a listing of all taxable property located within the Town as of the prior October 1. The assessor certifies the grand list annually by February 1. One duty of the assessor is to locate and value taxable property, and certify what was on the grand list as of the date of the prior October 1.
A mill is equal to $1.00 of tax for each $1,000 of assessment. To calculate the property tax, multiply the assessment of the property by the mill rate and divide by 1,000. For example, a property with an assessed value of $50,000 located in a municipality with a mill rate of 39.45 mills would have a property tax bill of $1,972.50 per year.
