Board of Abatement denies tax-abatement request for Parcel #070153
Summary
The Weathersfield Board of Abatement unanimously denied an abatement request for parcel #070153 after finding the taxpayer had not shown inability to pay; the owner had signed a delinquent-tax payment agreement with a $95/month plan and requested $2,071.86.
The Weathersfield Board of Abatement on June 17 unanimously denied a request to abate delinquent taxes, interest and collection fees for parcel #070153. Chairperson Mike Stankevich read a letter from the parcel owner stating the total requested abatement amount was "$2,071.86." August Murray moved to deny the abatement and Steve Hier seconded; the board voted unanimously to deny the request.
The parcel owner had already signed a delinquent tax payment agreement with the town and was on a repayment plan of $95.00 per month, the minutes show. Justice of the Peace August Murray told the board the basis for his motion was that "the taxpayer has not demonstrated the inability to pay." The board recorded a unanimous vote to deny the abatement and took no further action on the item.
The denial does not include additional written findings in the minutes; the board recorded the payment plan and the amount requested but did not specify follow-up enforcement at the meeting. No statutory references or ordinances were cited in the minutes for this decision.
