2010 Report
The Office of Town Clerk-Tax Collector took in $13,543,595.52 in revenues in 2010.
Just a reminder that we have the capability to do debit and credit card transactions over the counter for property tax, utility billing, dog licensing and the town’s portion of motor vehicle registrations. We can also process credit card transactions over the phone. Please note that, at this time, we can only accept MasterCard, Discover and American Express credit card transactions. We have instituted the “one check” method of collection for motor vehicle registrations so you no longer need to have one check for the state and one check for the town. All checks are made out to the “Town of Farmington” and money is transferred out to the state the next business day. We are hoping to have taxes, motor vehicle renewals and park & recreation sign-ups
available on-line to allow customers to register or pay taxes from home.
Election of town and school officers is Tuesday, March 8th from 8:00AM – 7:00PM in the Town Hall Gymnasium. Town Meeting is Wednesday, March 9th at 7:00PM in the Town Hall Gymnasium. Remember, the town voted to adopt SB2 for the form of voting on the School District budget. The School District Meeting deliberative session was February 5th at 9:00AM at Farmington High School. The results of the deliberative session will be on the ballot on March 8th. Be there and make your vote count.
Dog licenses are available. Remember your dog’s current licenses expire on April 30, 2011. After June 1st a penalty of $1.00/month is added to unlicensed dogs. After June civil forfeitures of $25.00 will be issued through the Farmington Police Department Animal Control Officer.
When Deputy Town Clerk-Tax Collector, Therese Healey received a job offer in the private sector, Nora Varney who served as an assistant in the office, was appointed as the New Deputy Town Clerk-Tax Collector. Tyffany Spear, a former State Motor Vehicle employee, and Mikel O’Brien, former Deputy Town Clerk-Tax Collector in Middleton, are sharing the assistant clerk position. They all bring a wealth of experience to the office.
Remember we are open on Thursdays from 8:30AM to 7:00PM, but close on Fridays at 12:30PM. This has worked well to provide customers with after work hours to come in and conduct their business.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathy L. Seaver, Town Clerk/Tax Collector
