Quick context to catch up fast.
The task force received 912 survey responses, including 45 from renters, and identified preliminary findings for its report on the residential tax exemption (RTE). Members also noted that roughly 900 rental units may not be accounted for in identified rental complexes and that current real estate data shows no evidence the RTE has changed sales patterns over the two-year analysis period.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The task force is still analyzing whether the RTE is meeting its goals and has not reached final conclusions. Early work suggests residents may have limited understanding of how the program works, renters do not receive the benefit directly, and higher assessments may reflect both tax increases and post-pandemic property value changes. Draft report sections and preliminary data tables were targeted for the January 22 meeting.
