A consistently high collection rate is the key to fiscal stability for the Town and remains the number one priority of the Tax Collector. Balancing the need to maintain a high rate of collection with the sensitivity necessary to deal with individual taxpayer issues, especially in this difficult economy,  is an integral function of the department. The Tax Collector and her staff take pride in providing taxpayers with prompt, courteous, professional service, while at the same time maintaining a consistently high rate of collection.
