relative to public notice of historic tax rates and tax impacts of proposed projects.
SB 217 would require cities and towns to post public notices about proposed taxpayer-funded building projects, such as new schools or libraries. These notices would need to be displayed on the front page of official websites and on official social media pages. Each summary would include a statement detailing the average estimated tax impact on residents, calculated per one thousand dollars of equalized valuation. This aims to inform residents about the potential tax implications of new public projects.
