1 April, 2022
The Town of Hopkinton Appropriation Committee will be holding a public hearing opening its 6 PM, Wednesday April 13th virtual meeting for comment from any members of the community who wish to offer opinions on or ask questions about the Town’s draft fiscal year 2023 budget, which will be considered at the May 2nd, 2022 Annual Town Meeting.
The budget under review by the Committee calls for $103.7 million in general government spending, including the Hopkinton Public Schools; and $4.9M in spending in the Town’s Water and Sewer Enterprises. Capital spending proposed for the general government, water, sewer, and Community Preservation Act projects totals $7.9 million.
The tax impact from this budget proposal on existing homeowners would average 2.1% above this year’s tax bills. As an example, the typical home in Hopkinton has an assessed value of $681,100 and a 2022 tax bill of $11,599. If all actions in the proposed budget for FY 2023 are approved, taxes on that average house would rise by about $241.
