The Board of Selectmen voted to maintain a single tax rate on September 10, 2024 at the Tax Classification Hearing. The fiscal year 2025 tax rate is $9.15.
Exemption and Abatement applications are available to pick-up in the Town Hall; lower level. Forms are located in a rack outside the Assessor’s Office. If you received an exemption in the past, you must file again this year and every year hereafter. Exemptions are not granted automatically.
Certain seniors and veterans may also be eligible for a work-off abatement program: work about 100 to 133 hours in exchange for a reduction of taxes up to $1,500.00 or $2,000.00. This program officially started September 1, 2023 and ends August 31, 2024. The reduction affects this fiscal year 2025 real estate tax bill.
The tax bills were mailed on October 1st and should be paid no later than November 1, 2024 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, 2024. Others (seniors, veterans, blind) filing an exemption have until April 1, 2025 to file but, it is best to file by December 31, 2024.
If you have any questions about your tax bill, please call Sheila Hambleton, Town Assessor.
