Time to pay for the new fire truck.

"Tuesday, December 15, 2009
MEREDITH — The town's tax rate has been set at $12.54 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, Town Manager Phil Warren reported Monday. The new rate represents an increase of $1.08 — or 9.4 percent — over 2008.

While the town rate has increased from $3.97 in 2008 to $4.23 in 2009, "the goal of the Board of Selectmen to raise no more funds from local taxation from current levels has been met — the increase in the rate is a function of declining real estate values, not an increase in local taxation," said Warren.

Tax bills are due to be mailed Wednesday, and payment is due by Jan. 18. "
