<description><![CDATA[Hello:

The Town of Erving is starting preliminary billing effective FY2024.  How do communities handle the exemption process?  We traditionally have sent out letters and blank exemption forms to those who have had exemptions granted the previous year on July 1 and tell them to send them back to us as soon as possible so that when the 1st half of the bills came out, the exemptions would be reflected on the tax bills.  Now we are switching to preliminaries issued in July and due Oct 1, the process will change.  We were thinking of asking them to submit the applications as early as possible so we could enter the information into Vadar and have the actual amount due on Oct 1 reflect the exemption. Your thoughts?

Thanks so much!

<description><![CDATA[Hi Jacquelyn,  We send out taxes twice a year.  Preliminary taxes have 2 coupons for payment and Actual taxes have 2 coupons for payment.  We too send out exemption forms in July for our previous applicants.  We never apply exemptions to preliminary tax bills only to actual tax bills.  If the application is approved prior to us running actual taxes we will enter them before the printing of the bills so the exemption is shown as a deduction on their actual bills. (We split the exemption between the 3rd & 4th quarter bills.)]]></description>
