In response, the Town Administrator suggested the error might be a misunderstanding of property cards, noting that state reports are built from the town's own internal data. The Assessor, George Hildum, has been tasked with a formal review.

Longer-form draft.
During the June 17 Select Board meeting, a significant issue regarding property assessment accuracy was brought to the forefront. Resident Maria Guzman presented findings from an independent verification project revealing a nearly $966,100 discrepancy between the town’s internal property spreadsheets and state-verified records. These discrepancies involve property measurements and values, which are the direct basis for how residents are taxed. While the Town Administrator suggested the gap might stem from how property cards are interpreted, the scale of the discrepancy—nearly $1 million—demands a thorough investigation. The Board has directed Assessor George Hildum to review the findings. Additionally, the meeting touched on critical public safety concerns. The Police Chief reported ongoing staffing shortages and expressed frustration with the lack of response from state officials regarding support for these vacancies. As these issues progress—particularly the property data review and the search for a new Town Administrator—we will continue to monitor the Board's actions to ensure transparency and fiscal accuracy for all residents. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/plainfield/select-board/2026-06-17/ #MeetingWatch #PlainfieldNH
