• If fire districts merge, what does each neighborhood pay? — Listed on the homepage ahead of being built, so the work is visible.
• What borrowing costs per home — Built as a general borrowing model rather than one model per project: the school and road figures are presets that set the amount, and every input stays editable.
• What borrowing costs per home — Reorganized into an answer-first layout: presets, your home value and a plain-language verdict up front; principal, rate, term and growth one tap down.
• What will my bill be after the revaluation? — Built. Estimates a post-revaluation bill and splits the change into the part caused by the revaluation shifting burden between property classes and the part caused by budget growth.
• What will my bill be after the revaluation? — Address search added, backed by a static index of 14,222 Enfield parcels built from the state's CAMA and parcel layer. The index carries no owner names or mailing addresses.
• Where the homestead exemption money comes from — Ported from the standalone component into the site. Every figure that was hard-coded in the component now comes from data/models/homestead-exemption.json with a source and a date.
• Where the homestead exemption money comes from — Replaced the estimated grand list composition for both towns with the official OPM category breakdown for the 2025 grand list. East Windsor's residential base was estimated at $432M; it is actually $782M.
• Where the homestead exemption money comes from — Corrected East Windsor's mill rate from a stale 34.5 (2021) to the official 24.89 for FY2026. The town revalued in the interim, which cut the rate by roughly a third.
• Where the homestead exemption money comes from — Replaced all five fire district mill rates with official OPM figures for FY2026. District bases and owner-occupied shares remain estimates and are labelled as such.
• Where the homestead exemption money comes from — Reorganized into an answer-first layout: a plain-language verdict and two personal inputs up front, with every existing control, the East Windsor comparison, the bill ladders and the fire district table intact one tap down. No math, inputs, URLs or query keys changed.
