Abatement Information

 Abatement is a process where a municipality can reduce or forgive a taxpayer's property taxes, interest, or collection fees, typically due to financial hardship or errors in the tax assessment. It's a form of relief granted by the Board of Abatement, which is composed of various town officials.  For more information click here for the Board of Civil Authority webpage.
