Assessor’s Office Helps Eligible Seniors Keep Property Tax Relief After a Move

The Town of Summitville Assessor’s Office reminds qualifying seniors that Crestland’s property tax exemption portability provision allows them to transfer their exemption to a new primary residence within the town. Seniors who have moved should contact the Assessor’s Office to ensure their exemption transfers correctly.
