Tax relief options

Acton’s exemption program offers a variety of targeted statutory tax relief options to seniors, disabled veterans, blind persons, and those in financial and medical hardship situations. The Board of Assessors and Assessing Department recognize the importance of these programs to promote equity and affordability for those in need of assistance keeping their home. We work diligently to spread the word of these exemptions and meet the needs of applicants, which results in Acton’s exemption program providing 5-10x more tax relief than surrounding communities. If you or someone you know may qualify for one of these programs, click HERE and do not hesitate to reach out.
