    Road Update: 3/20/24 as of 2:41pm

    Montgomery folks! Please be aware that the road crew is continuing to work on the back roads bouncing back and forth between plowing and grading measures as we experience the mixture of wintry and muddy conditions. Maintenance efforts will be ongoing throughout the remainder of mud season late March/early April. If you have the ability to stay OFF back road areas or can take alternate routes please do so to the best of your ability and discretion if possible.

    If you encounter areas with severe damage please leave a message at the Town Garage 326-4418 with the road name, condition/damage report, & identifying area such as a nearby physical address if possible. They will be checking their voicemail periodically so please do not panic if you do not get a return phone call as they are actively out on the roads. If you need Emergency Assistance please call 911, as we do have the capacity to reach you if medical services are required.

Metrics

State Tax Dept. Annual Report (Dec. 2023)
Equalized Education Grand List (EEGL) – $218,272,488
The EELG represents PVR’s statutorily-mandated estimate of total fair market value of the education grand list in our town and serves as the denominator in the computation of the Common Level of Appraisal (CLA).
Common Level of Appraisal (CLA) – 77.18%
The CLA is determined by dividing the education grand list by equalized education grand list. A number over 100% indicates that property in our town is generally listed for more than its fair market value. A number less than 100% indicates that property is generally listed for less than its fair market value. A CLA below 80% necessitates a town wide reappraisal.
Coefficient of Dispersion (COD) – 25.00%
The Coefficient of Dispersion is a measure of how fairly distributed the property tax is within our town. A high COD means that within our town many taxpayers are paying more than their fair share and many are paying less than their fair share. A COD over 20% necessitates a town wide reappraisal.
