Veterans

The Town of Antrim offers a tax credit in the amount of $500 for qualifying veterans and $2,000 for service-connected totally (100%) disabled veterans. Spouses of deceased qualifying veterans can also apply for a tax credit. Applications are available at the Town Hall.

Preservation of Historic Barns & Other Agricultural Buildings

Through the Agricultural Structures Preservation Easement, the preservation of historic barns and other agricultural buildings over 75 years old, is encouraged by granting property tax relief within a range of a 25-75% reduction in the structure’s assessment, to owners who (a) can demonstrate the public benefit of preserving their barns or other historic farm buildings, and (b) agree to maintain their structures throughout the minimum 10-year preservation easement. Also, maintaining and repairing the building will not result in an increase of its full assessed value for property tax purposes while under this easement. More information is available here.
