BOS Adopts Gold Star Parent and Spouse Tax Relief ordinance
Posted on: August 16, 2019 - 12:23pm
At Monday’s Board of Selectmen meeting, members adopted the Gold Star Parent and Spouse Tax Relief ordinance. A qualifying parent and/or spouse is eligible for a reduction of 10% of the assessed value of property on which they pay property taxes. The ordinance is effective 21 days from adoption.
Applications will soon be available from the Assessor’s office and must be returned prior to October 1, 2019 to be eligible for relief on the July 1, 2020 tax bill.
The ordinance was enabled by recent State enabling legislation. Board of Selectmen members were pleased to facilitate this community recognition of the sacrifice of Gold Star families and their loved one.
