Property Tax Survey Available

01/23/2025 scott (Five-Town Dam Committee)

Although the 2025 budget won’t be set until our Annual Town Meeting in April, the developments around what to do with the Toddy Pond dam have caused the four abutting towns to develop a survey of residents and waterfront property owners to better understand whether and, if so, how much municipal funds (i.e., property taxes) should be used to support the future ownership and operating costs of the dams.

We are looking for the broadest possible representation of Blue Hill voters (and others’) views on this matter via a very short survey.
