1. CAVENDISH TAX RATES for 2024-2025: The town office was closed on Tuesday so the staff could prepare the tax bills with the new tax rate. Bills were mailed Wednesday afternoon.
Fire District 1 (Proctorsville): The Homestead tax rate (Tax per $100 of Property Value) for 23/24 was 2.4572. For 24/25 it is 2.7245. The non homestead rate in 23/24 was 2.5154 and is now 2.9195 in 24/25.

As reported in this year’s Annual Report (page 28), almost 70% of property taxes goes to education: Fire District 1: 67% education, 24% town and 1.9% fire dist. Fire District 2: 69% education, 25% Town and 2.6% Fire Dist.
2. TOWN WIDE TAG SALE:: Hard to believe that this year’s tag sale will be 14 years old. The 13th Annual sale, following on the heels of the July Floods, was quite an event with a sale that lasted two days. As we continue to deal with the aftermath of both July and December 2023 floods, we’re offering a preparedness activity at this year’s Tag Sale.
The Cavendish Connects booth (Gazebo on the Proctorsville Green) will have a special table set up so that families can make “Go Kits,” to help them be ready if they need to evacuate suddenly.
The sale is Saturday July 27 from 9-2. Be sure to check out the web page and register if you wish to be in the on-line directory. We have started posting items for sale and their location on the Cavendish Facebook page.
