The Bolton Veterans Commission on March 19 reported that the Board of Selectman has approved in concept a proposed widow's property-tax benefit and that the commission will work with town staff to draft an ordinance aimed for completion in April.
Commission members asked the assessor to compile data on the number of veterans currently receiving an exemption; members noted there are fewer impacted veterans now than when the exemption was last considered. The commission said it will encourage supporters to attend the upcoming hearing once the ordinance language is posted.
Chair Robert Morra recommended that any exemption be calculated based on an individual’s normal tax bill and be inclusive of both house and lot. No final ordinance language or effective date was available at the March 19 meeting.
