REAL ESTATE EXEMPTIONS

 

The Town of Burlington has adopted several provisions, known as “Exemptions”, to relieve taxpayers that meet certain financial, age and residency requirements for personal tax relief on real estate property owned and occupied by an individual taxpayer.  You must file an application every year.

 

There are specific guidelines as to when an individual is qualified as well as specific timelines to file an exemption application.

 

The following is a general outline as to what exemptions are available and what qualifications are required:

 

Qualification Date:

You must qualify as of July 1 for the exemption you are applying for (i.e. if you are applying for a 70 or older, you must be 70 as of JULY 1).

 

Filing Date:

You will be filing on the 3rd quarter bill.  This goes out prior to December 31st.  You have 3 months after the 3rd quarter bill is mailed to submit an application to the Board of Assessors.
