The tax rate reduces the present 18.09 mills to 16.86, a 6.8 percent reduction, a result of less spending in the 2016-17 budget and increased property values in the previous year's revaluation in Westport, said the Westport News.

Next year's town budget is $204.5 million, an increase of 0.98 percent from the current one, according to the Westport News.
