City of Marlborough Announces Senior Citizen Residential Property Tax Work-Off Program

From the City of Marlborough:

MARLBOROUGH, MA - The City of Marlborough values the wealth of skills and knowledge possessed by its senior residents. The "SCRPT" program provides seniors the opportunity to share their skills in service to the community and receive up to a $1,000 abatement on their property taxes. The success of the program depends on the coordinated efforts of the various town departments requesting services, the program coordinator who matches the volunteers, the Assessor's office that administers the abatement process, and the Treasurer's office where payments are submitted.

Attached is the application and related documents that must be completed and returned in person to the Senior Center by Friday, August 19th at 4:00 p.m. Please complete and sign the SCRPT application, and bring your license or other government issued ID with you for submission. We recommend that you call in advance to be sure a staff person who can verify the CORI information will be available to accept your packet. Please keep the first two pages of this packet for your information.

If you would like to attend the lottery drawing for the 2016/2017 SCRPT program, please come to the Senior Center on Tuesday, August 23rd at 2:30 p.m.

Thank you for your interest in the "SCRPT" program. If you have any questions, please contact Trish Pope at 508-485-6492.
