Rutland property overappraised

Rutland Town's lister said last week that all property in the town are over-appraised by about 10 percent. But Town Lister Howard Burgess said since the whole town is in the same situation, those numbers will not be adjusted. He added that the over-appraisal would not cause someone to pay higher taxes and that making an across-the-board adjustment would delay tax bills until the end of the year.
