ORDINANCE REGARDING A LIMITED TAX EXEMPTION
FOR CERTAIN MEMBERS OF LAKEVILLE HOSE COMPANY NO. 1
AND SALISBURY VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE SERVICE
This Ordinance has been adopted pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes section 12-81w
(A) Purpose. In recognition of the benefits provided to the Town by the dedicated service of Lakeville Hose Company No. 1 ("LHC") and ("SVAS") personnel, the Town hereby adopts this exemption program pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes section 12-81w.
(B) Eligibility. To be eligible for the exemption program, an individual must have served as an active volunteer of either LHC or SVAS for at least 12 consecutive months as of December 31 of the calendar year immediately prior to the date of participation in the applicable exemption program. The criteria for "active volunteer" hereunder shall be established by the leadership of LHC and SVAS and provided to the Town's Assessor and Tax Collector.
(C) Certification. Between December 15 and December 31 of each year, the Chiefs of LHC and SVAS shall submit to the First Selectman a list of eligible volunteers (the "Eligible Volunteers") and their addresses. The list shall be signed, dated as certified as "True and Accurate" by each Chief before it is submitted. The First Selectman shall report receipt of the list to the Board of Selectmen and transmit it to the Town's Assessor and Tax Collector. Neither the Assessor nor the Tax Collector may add or delete an individual. The tax exemption shall apply to real or personal property owned by Eligible Volunteers on the Grand List as of October 1 immediately preceding the date of submission of the annual list. For example, if the Chiefs of LHC and SVAS submit the list on December 30, 2026, the exemption shall apply to the Grand List of October 1, 2026. For the purposes of this Ordinance, real or personal property shall be considered owned by an Eligible Volunteer if the record owner of the real or personal property is (1) a corporation or limited liability of which the Eligible Volunteer is the sole owner or (2) a trust of which the Eligible Volunteer is the sole trustee. The burden shall be on the Eligible Volunteer to inform the Assessor of any ownership by a corporation, limited liability company, or trust as described in the preceding sentence.
(D) Application of Exemption. If an Eligible Volunteer owns both real and personal property, the exemption provided by this Ordinance shall be applied first to real property, then to personal property. If an Eligible Volunteer owns multiple parcels of real property or multiple items of personal property, the exemption provided by this Ordinance shall be applied as the Assessor may determine. For the purposes of this Ordinance, real or personal property shall be considered owned by an Eligible Volunteer if the record owner of the real or personal property is (1) a corporation or limited liability of which the Eligible Volunteer is the sole owner or (2) a trust of which the Eligible Volunteer is the sole trustee. If an Eligible Volunteer owns property jointly, rather than individually, the full amount of the exemption may be applied as if the Eligible Volunteer owned the property individually. If property is owned by more than one Eligible Volunteer, each Eligible Volunteer is entitled to the full amount of the exemption provided by this Ordinance.
(E) Exemption Not Transferable. The sale or transfer of any real or personal property to which exemption has been applied shall disqualify the property from exemption for the remainder of the then-fiscal year. In the event of the death of an Eligible Volunteer, the exemption afforded hereunder shall terminate at the end of the fiscal year in which the Eligible Volunteer dies.
(F) Amount of Exemption. In accordance with Connecticut General Statutes section 12-81w, the portion of the assessed value of real or personal property of an Eligible Volunteer entitled to tax exemption under this Ordinance (the "Exempt Portion") shall be an amount equal to (1) one million dollars divided by (2) the Town's mill rate in effect at the time of the assessment. For example, if the mill rate at the time of an assessment is 11.0, the Exempt Portion of an Eligible Volunteer's real or personal property shall be $90,909.09 (one million dollars divided by 11.0); and if the mill rate at the time of an assessment is 12.0, the Exempt Portion of an Eligible Volunteer's real or personal property shall be $83,333.33 (one million divided by 12.0).
(G) Dual Service. If an individual is an Eligible Volunteer hereunder for both LHC and SVAS, that individual shall receive the single exemption to which an Eligible Volunteer is entitled under this Ordinance.
(H) Non-Resident Volunteers. The Board of Selectmen is authorized to enter into interlocal agreements with other towns to provide an identical tax relief benefit to active volunteers who satisfy the service eligibility criteria by providing service to the Town of Salisbury but live in another Connecticut town. Such relief shall be paid directly to the town in which the non-resident volunteer lives.
(I) Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective fifteen (15) days after publication of notice of adoption in a newspaper having circulation in the Town. Approved by the Town of Salisbury, Connecticut on September 16, 2026.
