What is tax abatement? 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. It exists to permit the board to prevent an injustice or to help a taxpayer who faces extraordinary circumstances that make it difficult for the taxpayer to meet his or her tax obligations. Abatements are cautiously granted insofar as they reduce the income to the town and require the town to either spend less or increase the taxes on the rest of the taxpayers to make up the difference. A board may abate “in whole or part” property taxes, interest or collection fees. 24 V.S.A. § 1535(a).

Here is a quick overview: The project is a 5000 square foot wood framed building. The structural roof system is wood metal plated pre-manufactured trusses that are supported on wood bearing walls. A 14’x50′ wood framed mezzanine is in one portion of the building. The building will be heated with a radiant concrete slab. The project includes site work as well. This entails a new driveway and wetland containment systems. Our project is shovel ready with all necessary permits in place.
