Note: The Weare Town Operating Budget is not presented in a format that clearly identifies the tax impact of adopting the budget versus not adopting it. As a result, this is the only article on this page where the tax impact is shown as an estimate. The estimate was calculated by subtracting the 2025 tax impact from the 2026 tax impact. While this method provides a realistic approximation, it should be understood that the figure is not exact.
