Select Board denies one abatement, approves two after assessor corrections
Summary
The Select Board denied Tim Corrigan's abatement request and approved abatements for Bailey Couture and William and Leena Lauze after corrections to building data and sketches reduced their assessments.
The board reviewed three abatement requests on July 6. Tim Corrigan's request was denied and his assessment remains $95,000; Kevin Meehen moved to deny the abatement and the motion passed unanimously. The board granted an abatement for Bailey Couture, reducing the assessment from $264,800 to $228,100 after correcting building data and applying depreciation for unfinished construction. The board also approved a correction for William and Leena Lauze, changing the assessment from $79,200 to $76,500 after adjusting the building sketch and data.
Chair Brown said the assessors' recommendations and corrected building information motivated the decisions. All motions passed on unanimous votes and the board recorded the assessment changes for the town records.
