Fall is just around the corner, and the Town, has a new Real and Personal Property tax rate for fiscal year 2024. The tax rate is $9.07.
Exemption and Abatement applications are in the Town Hall hallway outside the Assessors Office. If you received an exemption in the past, you must file again this year or you will not be eligible for an exemption. This process is not automatic.
Certain seniors and veterans may also be eligible for a work-off abatement program: work about 100 hours in exchange for a reduction of taxes up to $1,500.00. This program officially started September 1, 2023 and ends August 31, 2024. The reduction affects the fiscal year 2024 real estate tax bill.
The tax bills were mailed on October 2nd. They are payable no later than November 1, 2023 to avoid fees and interest.
In addition, taxpayers may dispute their new assessment by filing an abatement application that must be received in the Assessor’s office no later than November 1, 2023. Others (seniors, veterans, blind) filing an exemption have until April 1, 2024 to file but, it is best to file by December 31, 2023.
If you have any questions about your tax bill, please call Sheila Hambleton, Town Assessor.
