Seymour schedules public hearing on disabled-veteran tax exemption; senior tax incentive deferred pending state action
Summary
The ordinance committee updated the board: a senior-citizen tax incentive remains contingent on state approval and was tabled until December; the board set a public hearing for a disabled-veteran tax exemption for 6:45 p.m. on March 18, 2026 and asked staff to return on other ordinance tweaks.
The Board received updates from the ordinance committee and set a date for a public hearing on a proposed disabled-veteran tax exemption.
Committee members reported that the proposed senior citizens tax incentive requires state approval and cannot be enacted locally until the legislature addresses authorizing language; the ordinance committee recommended tabling that initiative until at least December. The board then voted to set a public hearing for a disabled-veteran exemption at 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, 2026; the motion to set the hearing was moved by Trish, seconded by Brianna and passed 6-0.
The committee also reported that John McKenzie, the town’s light enforcement officer, reviewed a sidewalks ordinance and will revise language (“tweak it”) and return to the March 18 meeting for follow-up.
Next steps: the board will hold the public hearing on March 18 at 6:45 p.m., await any necessary state action for the senior incentive, and receive the revised sidewalks ordinance from John McKenzie.
