POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
Council adopts new 2.5% Local Use Tax
For many months, Town Council, staff, residents and business owners have been discussing three new proposed taxes to address rising operational costs, aging infrastructure and the Town’s long-term financial stability. The proposed new taxes—Local Use Tax, Telecommunications Tax, and Commercial Rental Tax— came before Council for final decision on January 14, 2026. Of the three options, only the 2.5% Local Use Tax received approval and will go into effect January 1, 2026. A Use Tax is applied to large purchases made outside of Town boundaries. The tax, which will primarily impact businesses, is estimated to generate about $375,000 to $600,000 annually. Those revenues will be used to fund capital improvement projects.
