The Board of Abatement consists of the Town’s elected Justices of the Peace, Selectboard Members, Listers, Town Clerk and Town Treasurer. Its function is to hear requests for abatement of property taxes and to render decisions on such requests pursuant to 24 V.S.A. § 1535. Abatement is a statutory process for relieving taxpayers from the burden of property taxes, penalty (collection fees), and interest when the law authorizes abatement and when the Board, in its discretion, agrees that the request is reasonable and proper.
