Elizabethtown School Board Mulls Tax Refunds for Low-Income Seniors
Elizabethtown School Board Weighs Tax Refund for Low-Income Seniors Amid Budget Discussions
On March 26, the Elizabethtown School Board met and discussed the upcoming school year’s budget. They talked about providing low-income older people with a tax refund. The board wanted feedback on this concept. Homeowners over 65 who make $22,500 or less are to receive $500 back, while those who make between $22,501 and $45,000 are to receive $250 back. Property taxes can increase by 3.75% as a result. While some board members agreed, others did not. They will take a vote on the budget later, as they are still working it out.
