LAKEVILLE -- To help residents better understand the details on an upcoming tax override vote, four outreach sessions have been scheduled.
Lakeville voters will go to the polls May 19 to decide whether to approve an override that would allow the town maintain most of its current services and staff. If the tax override is approved for next year’s budget, $2,615,700 would be raised from property taxes, which comes out to a yearly tax increase of $513.26 for the average valued household in Lakeville of $625,000.
In 2028, $1.3 million more would be raised and the final $1 million would be raised for the 2029 budget. By 2029, the scaled approach would result in a total tax increase of $970.18 from current rates.
The informational schedules will be held from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, April 25; 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesdat April 29; 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday May 6 and 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday May 13.
All sessions will take place at the Lakeville Public Library.
