PROPERTY TAX WORK-OFF PROGRAM
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
The Board of Selectman has established senior citizen property tax work-off abatement program, in which participating taxpayers volunteer their services to the Town of Grafton in exchange for a reduction in their tax bills. Seniors may earn a maximum reduction of $1000, paid at a rate of $8.00 per hour, up to a maximum of 125 hours.
The Grafton Property Tax Work-Off Abatement Program is available to:
1) Residents who have reached the age of 60 or greater; and
2) Residents whose household income is not greater than $35,000* and
show proof of same; and
3) Residents who own (or whose spouse owns the property) and have
occupied that property as their principal residence for a minimum of 5
years; and
4) Residents who produce a copy of the assessor’s record listing applicant
and owner; and
5) Residents who possess applicable skills; and
6) Residents who sign an application and complete a W-4.
Payments will be made in the form of an abatement to the current tax bill, split between the third and fourth quarters.
