RICHARD AND KATHLEEN ROY – TAX ABATEMENT
The Board received a letter from the Delinquent Tax Collector proposing that the delinquent
taxes on the Richard and Kathleen Roy property be abated. The property consists of two
small parcels located on Duffy Hill Road which were left over when a subdivision was
approved many years ago. The town has been unsuccessful in locating the Roys to attempt to
collect taxes on these parcels. Neither the Town nor adjacent property owners have pursued
owning the road because of the maintenance responsibilities involved. The assessment on
the properties is minimal. The total amount of delinquent taxes due is $5.13.
Christine O’Donnell made a motion to abate the delinquent taxes owed by Richard and
Kathleen Roy as recommended by the Delinquent Tax Collector, seconded by Carol
Howrigan. Motion passed: 8:0.
