Board of Assessors · Meeting of February 10, 2026
Rutland Board of Assessors approves solar exemption, grading schedule, and assessor budget increase. The Board voted unanimously to formalize the town's longstanding practice of exempting solar installations from taxation, developed with input from the Massachusetts Association of Assessing Officers and Vision Government Solutions. Assessor Amy Evanowski presented the solar policy and official grading schedule, noting the exemption serves as an incentive to promote green energy.
The Board also approved the 2027 Assessor Office budget, increasing funding by ten thousand dollars for Evanowski's raise while all other line items remained unchanged.
