My tax bill has been increasing the last few years. Can the Assessors lower my taxes?
The value on your house is determined by the Department of Revenue each year. The Assessors do not raise or lower taxes or values.
I am a senior living on a fixed income. Do you have help for the seniors?
Yes, we have exemptions for seniors, veterans, widow, widower, blind as well as tax deferrals. We also have a work program for seniors 65 and older. All applicants must qualify under the Department of Revenue guidelines.
I feel that my value is too high. Can I file for an abatement?
Yes, you may file within 30 days upon receiving your 3rd and 4th actual real estate bill.
