Applications for the Mattapoisett Senior Citizen Property Tax Work-Off Program are available as of September 22. This program allows Mattapoisett seniors, older than 60, to perform services for the town in exchange for a maximum of $750 reduction on the taxes for Mattapoisett property that they own and occupy. Anyone interested must complete an application, even if you have served in the past.
Applications are available online at the Town’s website, www.mattapoisett.net/council-aging, under the “COA” under “FY17 Work-Off Package”. Hard copy applications may also be picked up in person at the Council on Aging, 17 Barstow Street. The application contains a summary of the eligibility requirements for program participation. There is also a detailed information package, which outlines the program, earnings, tax responsibilities, and other pertinent information.
All applications must be turned in to the Council on Aging office by 3:00 pm on Friday, October 22. Anyone with questions may call Jacqueline Coucci, Council on Aging Director, at 508-758-4110.
