Warner was the first town to be profiled in their newsletter. The profile is on display in the Selectmen’s office. Marianne Howlett and Martha Mical met with the Selectmen to discuss current use penalties. There are proper steps to be taken when land is taken out of current use. There have been times where penalty estimates have been quoted over the telephone to Real Estate Agents due to the purchasing of property. Shortly after money would show up in the Tax Collectors mail for current use penalties without the proper paper work and signatures. Marianne and Martha requested a policy be put into effect to deter this from happening in the future. Letters will be sent to the local Real Estate Agents regarding this issue.
