In the wake of last year’s historic tax override, Article 35 proposes increasing property tax exemptions for vulnerable populations. The article would provide additional relief to qualifying seniors, veterans, and disabled residents as allowed under state law.

Warrant Committee Chair Jay Funling acknowledged that while providing relief reduces the total revenue available for town services, the committee felt the support was necessary. For every $10,000 provided in relief, that's $10,000 less the town has. We think it's worth it to provide relief to these people, Funling said, noting the financial pressure some residents have felt following the 2025 override.
