Weekly Update 6/28/21

The big news from last week's meeting was that the City Council voted unanimously to approve the Mayor's request to double the senior property tax exemption from $500 to $1,000. This exemption is for homeowners over the age of 70 who meet certain financial eligibility and residency requirements. For more information regarding the requirements and application process, please call the Assessor’s Office at 508-821-1011.

The ordinance to remove the residency requirement for Assessors and the fee waiver ordinance were both passed from a second reading to a third reading. The FY2022 Budget was approved for final passage from a second reading to be ordained.
