Subject: more on tax bills
 
Will you all be so kind as to let me know the following - I will post
and update the "totals" periodically when I've gotten  good chunks of
responses.   Thank you ever so much. 
Miki - Townshend Treasurer
 
Town: Wolcott
 
Population: 1429
 
Parcels in Grand List: 920
 
Number of Tax Collections: 2 - 1 in November and 1 in May
 
 
Any comments about multiple due dates - positive or negative - which you
are willing to share would be great!
 
Some in our town think we should go to 4 payments (from 1).  We are
about 1,100 population with about 1,100 parcels which include close to
200 'travel trailers' on 2 campgrounds.  We have a certain percentage of
out of state owners who are mostly summer or pre-retirees, a huge
percent of land in current use, a 1,000 acre state park, a 1,000 Army
Corps Dam with "recreation" area, and the Union HS, and a cottage
hospital - all of which are for the most part nontaxable.
