Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Town of Hanover’s FY ’26 budget has been presented to the Select Board
and Advisory Committee by the Town Manager. If you are just tuning in but
want to catch up, there are dozens of PowerPoint presentations just waiting
for you here:

.
But, if you are looking for the summary, the Town Manager’s budget, as
presented on February 3rd, 2025, is here:

. A homeowner living in an “average” Hanover house (valued at $778K this
fiscal year) will see an estimated $303.24 increase in their taxes for
FY’26, and a $911.80 estimated increase if the proposed override passes.
This latter number is 41.5% less than last year’s failed override
projection.
Along with that operating budget summary is a terrific overview of what to
expect for rates in our enterprise funds, including the newest fund, the
Transfer Station Enterprise Fund. Here’s that presentation, also from
February 3rd:

. In sum, your full-access transfer station sticker will cost $310 for
access beginning July 1st.
As the spring unfolds and anticipated revenues become more certain, there
will surely be adjustments to these numbers. Additionally, the Advisory
Committee will begin to weigh in with their recommendations to Town
Meeting. Stay tuned for more details!
