Don't Let Housing Costs Get Out Of Reach

Attention Easton Residents

A home sales tax increase is about to go before the City Council that is proposed to be used for Open Space. This increase would make housing more expensive for buyers and sellers of properties in Easton.

Buyers would need to find additional cash at closing and sellers, especially seniors, would have less money for retirement. This change will affect first-time homebuyers and low-to-moderate income individuals the most.
