Amendment to Ordinance
article 1, Chapter 156 – Taxation
Exemption for Elderly and Disabled Persons
[Adopted 11-16-1987]
Notice is hereby given that the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Granby has adopted amendments to Article 1 of Chapter 156 of the Town Ordinances, titled “Exemption for Elderly and Disabled Persons.” This article provides property tax relief to eligible elderly and permanently disabled residents, supplementing benefits available under Connecticut General Statutes §§ 12-129b to 12-129d and §§ 12-170aa to 12-170cc.
Following a duly noticed public hearing held on June 16, 2025, the Board of Selectmen voted to revise the annual application requirement for the Elderly Tax Exemption Program to a biennial (every other year) filing schedule, as administered by the Town Assessor.
Eligibility for the program is based on age, disability status, residency, and income qualifications. Tax relief is income-based and may not exceed 75 percent of the total property tax liability when combined with other applicable state programs. Additional provisions address tax deferrals, changes in ownership, and the death of the applicant.
This document is prepared for the benefit of the public, solely for purposes of information, summarization and explanation. This document does not represent the intent of the legislative body of Town of Granby for any purpose.
The full text of the amended ordinance is available at the Town Clerk’s Office and on the Town of Granby website.
Dated at Granby, Connecticut, the 17th day of June 2025.
Michael P. Walsh, Town Manager
