Bowdoinham selectmen are proposing a $2.3 million municipal budget for 2021-22 that could mean a 1.5% increase in taxes.
The spending plan represents a $156,297 or 7% increase over the current budget.
Town Manager Nicole Briand estimated this would increase taxes $70 for a home valued at $250,000. That does not include the town’s portion of taxes paid to Maine School Administrative District 75 or to Sagadahoc County.
Driving the increase in part is an $80,000 or 23% increase in debt service, Briand said. Health insurance costs are going up 12% and the town doubled its legal expenses budget to $20,000.
