ASSESSORS CORNER 

To the citizens of New Portland…

Just a quick note to let you all know that I have changed my hours for the Town Office. I will now be scheduled in the office (or out and about in town) every other Friday from 9-3 and the first Saturday of the month

8-noon. I will still be available for appointments also. To set up an appointment please call the town office during regular business hours at 628-4441 and leave your name and phone # where you can be reached with Alice or Stacie and I will then contact you ASAP to schedule a meeting with you. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause any of you and I will do anything in my power to make these new changes as convenient as possible for us all.

Please take note that I have sent out some postcards to some residents in town that we need to schedule a meeting regarding their c construction. If you receive a postcard please contact me to set up an appointment as not doing so may cause your 2009 assessment to be wrong. So far this year the assessments are moving right along, even with all the crappy weather we've been having, I'm hoping to keep my commitment dates consistent and be done by the middle of July so please schedule any necessary appointments now.

Have a great summer

Audra Swanson, CMA
