The mil rate for property taxes was set at a Special Board Meeting on Wednesday, August 5th at 15.5. ​

Tax bills were generated on August 6th and we plan to mail a hard copy to everyone on Friday, August 7th. The real estate commitment book, tax bills and related information can be viewed by clicking the links above or navigate to the "Departments" tab and select "Tax Information."

​

Your tax bills should also contain a letter outlining additional information related to recent sales and cost schedule adjustments.

If you have questions, feel free to reach out to the Town Office; however, if your questions are specifically related to your valuation, the Assessor is generally in the office the 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month. 

​PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU ARE PLACING ITEMS ON EITHER OF THE CEMETERIES IN BROWNVILLE, THEY NEED TO BE PLACED IN A MANNER THAT STILL ALLOWS FOR CONVENIENT MOWING AND WEED WHACKING.

​

THIS YEAR THERE HAS BEEN AN ABUNDANCE OF ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS AND TRINKETS. THIS IS CAUSING AN INCREASE IN THE TIME NEEDED TO TEND THE CEMETERIES, AS THE CREW NEEDS TO STOP AND MOVE THEM SO NOT TO RUIN THEM.

IF PLANTING LIVE FLOWERS AND THEY NEED TO BE TENDED REGULARLY AND NOT LEFT FOR OUR CREW TO TAKE CARE OF. THERE ARE SOME STONES THAT ARE NO LONGER VISIBLE BECAUSE OF THIS.

​

ALSO, REMEMBER THAT OUR CEMETERIES ARE CARRY IN AND CARRY OUT PROPERTIES. DO NOT LEAVE TRASH AND RETURNABLES FOR US TO CLEAN UP. (THIS INCLUDES BOTTLES AND CANS OF ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRINKS THAT ARE LEFT FOR LOVED ONES).

When I first knew I would be coming to Brownville, I knew I wanted to host an event that would allow me to meet as many Brownvillians as possible, and at first, I envisioned a dinner, but then I wanted to find something for the kids to participate in as well. I think it’s important for children to be involved in our community, so they want to take pride and ownership in their hometown. Human connection is a powerful thing, and as history has proven, it’s capable of many things. We need to take that power and use it for good. We all have heard the saying “it takes a village” when talking about something complex that requires a lot of support. We say it because it’s a common phrase that many generations have repeated, but we don’t really look at the reason, other than it means it requires a lot of people. But let’s focus on the word “village.” The definition of village is a small group of houses and buildings where people live, usually on the countryside; however, people use that as a term of endearment because it truly goes beyond that. It once meant the people that lived in the small group of houses, usually on the countryside, took care of each other. They celebrated together. They cared for children that didn’t belong to them. When someone was down on their luck, you rallied around them. You saw value in your community, and you didn’t fear your local government, because you are the local government.

​

It takes a village…so come and enjoy your village with me on Saturday, September 5th from 3-6pm at Davis Field!

There will be food, games, Tough-A-Truck, Family Fun Run, a bounce house as well as a meet and greet with me so we can get to know each other better, but I encourage you to get to know and love your neighbors too!
