r <br /> Mashpee has never voted to split the tax rate nor has it voted a residential exemption. The <br /> split tax rate has not offered any significant tax relief for residential property owners while <br /> it could be a burden to old and deterrent to new businesses. The residential exemption has <br /> not been adopted more as an equity issue though there has been strong opinion that it <br /> could damage the second home industry as well. There already is a personal property tax <br /> on thero erty of non-resident homeowners is amounting to some $20,000,000. <br /> P p <br /> assessed value paid by non-residents only. <br /> If the Board of Selectmen feel any of these options are worthy of consideration my <br /> suggestion has been and still is to study the issues and have public hearings during the <br /> Summer when those most effected will be able to voice their opinions. <br /> I'have attached worksheets to illustrate the impact of a split rate and of a residential <br /> exemption. <br /> The suggested vote is to maintain an equal tax rate with no small business or residential <br /> exemptions. <br /> .. - ..... - ` Y <br /> „.r"y L• i.i <br />
