Veteran's Discharge

All Veterans who served during War Time are eligible to a reduction on the assessed value of their property, if they own property in town, or on their motor vehicle if they do not own property in town, by recording their DD-214 (Discharge Papers) in the Town Clerk's Office. These are then forwarded to the Assessor's Office to be applied to your taxes. The cut-off date is October 1st in order to affect your following July's tax bill.
