Everybody knows it's tax bill season and the lines at the counter at the Town Office remind us of this.  It's been many years so the upcoming Revaluation of our assessed values will be unfamiliar to many of us.   All interested persons are invited to the Wayne Presents program: Property Revaluation Program informational presentation with Matt Caldwell, town of Wayne assessor.  Matt will review why we are doing a Reval, how it will work, and what it means for property owners.  He will then answer questions.
