Grocery Tax Information
In March 2024, a local group began circulating a petition to eliminate the sales tax on food purchased for home consumption (also known as the grocery tax) via a ballot initiative. The group ended the petition process and withdrew their affidavit as a citizen’s committee in April 2024. Along with general budget information, this page provides information about the grocery tax, its impact on Town finances, and how its removal would significantly reduce the Town’s revenue for programs and services.
