Treasurers of Vermont

I am requesting information on the subject of copying tax bills. After all
the time and money spent preparing and issuing the original tax bill, I am
discouraged at how many requests I receive for additional copies due to lack
of careful filing or mailing the original to a bank because of an escrow
arrangement, when they could keep the original and mail a copy to the bank.
On demand requests are difficult to ignore and often the way I receive
requests for copies.  To accommodate the taxpayer, but discourage sloppy
filing, I insist on the taxpayer (or tax preparer) stopping in and paying
the statutory 4 cents and picking up the copy.  I do not fax or mail copies,
as that is additional cost to the Town, over and above the initial
preparation and mailing.

Ironically, if a taxpayer comes in with a tax bill and wishes us to make a
copy on our photocopier, the Town Clerk charges 20 cents for that copy!!!

I would appreciate knowing if:

1.  you charge the statutory 4 cents for a copy
2.  you have been authorized to charge more than the 4 cents and how you
        received that authorization
3.  you copy tax bills on demand or require a day or two to respond

Thank you for your answers and any additional comments you wish to make.
