Rumford manager hopeful the town's tax rate may drop
Bruce Farrin/Rumford Falls Times RUMFORD — Town Manager Stacy Carter said he expects the 2021-22 tax rate to be at or below last year, even though the proposed municipal budget of $9.89 million is up $74,377. “I feel that even though there’s a slight increase in the budget, I know there’s going to be funds in this budget that aren’t spent that will go back into the general fund,” he said. “We’ve been doing well on state revenue-sharing. That will all go to offset taxes, and I expect the mill rate to come in at and really below what it currently is.”
