Brentwood's 2010 Tax Rate

Brentwood residents and property owners should be in receipt of their final tax bill for 2010. As indicated on the tax bill, our tax rate is $23.86, an increase of $3.33 or 16.2% over 2009.

The breakdown of the rate is as follows:
Town Rate $3.86
Local School Rate $16.63
State School Rate $2.37
County Rate $1.00
Total $23.86

There are several factors contributing to this increase and they are as follows:
1. The Town-wide revaluation which resulted in the net valuation for the Town, on which the tax rate is computed, to decrease by $41,891,638 (a decrease of approximately 8.1%).
2. Not only did the Cooperative School District Budget increase by $619,080 (1.3%) but Brentwood's portion of the School District Budget increased, based on enrollment figures, from 14.85% to 15.43%.
3. Swasey School Budget increased by $139,521 (2.8%)
4. A projected decrease in revenues of approximately 9.8%, particularly in motor vehicle registrations and interest income; plus the removal of Police Private Detail revenues from the general fund into their revolving account.

Please remember, your votes at Town Meeting and the Brentwood School District Meeting determine the budgets for these 2 areas.

All property owners are encouraged to print out a copy of their property card at the Town Office. If you disagree with the new assessment of your property, you may submit an abatement application by March 1, 2011.

Southeast Regional Refuse Disposal District Representatives Needed

The Board of Selectmen is seeking volunteers to serve as Alternative Representatives on Southeast Regional Refuse Disposal District 53B (SRRDD 53B). SRRDD 53B was established on December 17, 1987 in accordance with and pursuant to the provisions of the NH RSA Chapter 53-B. It is a nonprofit organization developed for the purpose of operating a solid waste disposal district. It is currently serving 10 Towns: Brentwood, Fremont, Hampton, Hampton Falls, Kensington, New Castle, North Hampton, Rye, Sandown and South Hampton. Its objectives are to provide for disposal of solid waste of the district and to provide some means of recycling a portion of that solid waste. Among other things, they were able to pick up the slack when the Kingston Landfill closed and are responsible for the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days held in Hampton and Brentwood.

Each member municipality should have one Representative and two Alternate Representatives. We are fortunate to have Doug Cowie serve as our Representative but are in need of two Alternates. SRRDD 53B holds quarterly meetings at which attendance is imperative.

If this sounds like something you may be interested in doing or you have questions about SRRDD 53B or the Alternate position, feel free to call the Selectman's Office at 642-6400 x10.
