Abatement is the process for relieving taxpayer/ratepayers from the burden of paying property taxes, water charges, sewer charges, interest, collection fees, or any other municipal charges or fees for utilities or services. Abatement is granted when the request is authorized by statute and when the BOA, in its discretion, agrees that the request is reasonable and proper. The BOA has the authority to abate town taxes and statewide education property taxes. However, if the BOA abates statewide educational property taxes, the Town is still obligated to the State for the full amount of statewide educational taxes due.
