Board denies Tom Adams' request to reinstate farm designation for 10R Emmons Lane
Summary
The Board of Assessment Appeals denied Tom Adams’s request to reinstate a farm designation for 10R Emmons Lane because the current records lack a farmer designation showing the hay is used for income; Adams may reapply with the next grand list and a farmer signature.
Tom Adams asked the Board of Assessment Appeals on March 14, 2026 to reinstate a farm designation for property at 10R Emmons Lane. Chairman David Jacquier told the hearing the town requires evidence that hay from the property is used to generate income and noted the current file lacks a farmer designation, making the property ineligible for the designation this year.
Chairman David Jacquier said Adams may reapply with the next grand list and must include a farmer’s signature on the required form. The transcript records no formal motion; the board concluded the property must be denied for the current grand list year.
