Summary
Roxbury selectmen approved several small abatements and a $25,000 land-value reduction that reduced tax on one parcel by $331; motions passed unanimously.
The board approved a series of abatement and supplement motions at the Aug. 13 meeting, including several nominal abatements under $3 and a substantive land-value correction.
Minutes record three small abatements (Spectrum Northeast $.09; Directv $3.00 personal property; Dish Network $2.44) and a $25,000 land-value reduction for Map 2 Lot 40, which equates to a $331 tax reduction; Selectman Timothy Derouche moved to approve the $25,000 base lot reduction, Ray Hodsdon seconded, and the vote was 3-0.

These actions adjust assessed values and small personal-property taxes and were recorded as approved without dissent.
