# Whitman Board of Assessors - November 10, 2026 meeting

The Whitman Board of Assessors met on November 10, 2026, and approved the September 29 meeting minutes. The board approved two 2024 motor vehicle excise abatements totaling $881.86, 2026 abatements totaling $3,283.79, and 22 senior work-off exemptions totaling $41,430. It also voted to fund the overlay account with $326,255, bringing the total to $365,000, citing uncertainty about revaluation-year liabilities and an outstanding liability; any amount not needed may be returned later. The board noted that exemptions would be tabled and discussed delays in receiving invoices, but no procurement decision was identified.

The board discussed and voted on its recommendation for fiscal-year tax rates, supporting a single rate with a factor of one. Members said Whitman has little open space and a limited commercial base, and discussed maintaining a small-business-friendly approach while remaining attentive to senior exemptions. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
