----------------------------------------------------------- date: 06/04/2026 subj: comment 06042026_064550 ----------------------------------------------------------- Are home improvement work permits required by towns and cities being used to extract more taxes from home owners via attributing maintence or minor improvments, instead as increased value therefore increased revenue for towns and cities? Ive seen and heard stories from home owners who are having to sell their homes after fixing them due to tax increases by the town or city because the home owner can no longer afford the tax payment.
