Justification: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
The owner of 45 North Bridge Drive applied for a senior citizen - aged exemption. The property owner submitted the exemption application prior to the taxable status date. Due to clerical error, the office failed to enter the exemption in the property dataset. According to the supporting documentation, it appears the property owner meets the eligibility requirements for the exemption. The exemption is income based; the property owner is subject to a 10% exemption.
The property owner paid the 2020 tax bill in full; therefore, I recommend a refund for $130.73.
