South Burlington Board of Abatement administers oaths and reminds applicants of procedures
Summary
The Board opened hearings May 14, administered oaths to participants, checked for conflicts of interest and reviewed procedures for public testimony; staff explained payment application rules and timing for deliberation and written decisions.
At the start of the meeting Chair Chris Shaw and staff administered oaths to board members and applicants and asked whether any member had a conflict of interest or ex parte communication. The board emphasized that testimony would be taken before questions and that members would reserve deliberation for a later closed session.
Staff reiterated how payments on delinquent tax accounts are applied — paying interest first — and laid out scheduling logistics for in‑person and virtual participants. At least one board member confirmed that written decisions will be provided to applicants within 30 days of the hearing.
