Excise Tax

The following fees are in effect and will be updated for inflation each November.

Residential Construction
$4,000 for each new single-family dwelling
$3,200 for each new attached dwelling (town homes and condominiums)
$2,900 for each new apartment dwelling

Non-residential (Commercial) Construction

Excise Tax is paid by the builder at the time a building permit is issued for a new residence or commercial structure. The fees are used to pay for capital projects, such as street improvements or parks that are needed to provide the facilities for the new residents moving into the Town. The fees are only used for capital items and not to fund regular operations.

An annual increase in this Excise Tax based upon the rate of inflation is put into place each year on Nov. 1.
