AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION-PROPERTY SUBJECT TO TAXATION -- GLOCESTER -- EXEMPTION OF ELDERLY AND DISABLED PERSONS

This bill amends state law to allow the town of Glocester to offer expanded property tax credits and exemptions for elderly and disabled homeowners. It authorizes the town council to create a base exemption of up to $2,070 for owners aged 65 or older or those with permanent disabilities, with annual adjustments based on the consumer price index. The legislation also permits additional credits for residents over 80, variable income limits for certain applicants, and a minimum annual tax payment requirement. These changes would apply uniformly to qualified owner-occupants and would be administered through town ordinances following specific eligibility verification processes.
