Earth Day Clean Up
As was the case last year, because of COVID related concerns, the Hebron Green Committee will not be holding a group clean-up day for Earth Day this year. However, all is not lost! We are still encouraging Hebron residents to (safely!) do your own clean up in your neighborhood or a street or road of your choice that you think really needs it. We have arranged for our Public Works Department to put a dumpster at Town Hall on Saturday and Sunday, April 24th and 25th, so any trash collected can be brought there. If clean recyclables can be collected separately and recycled, that’s great, but we realize roadside items may not be real clean, so they may have to be thrown in the trash. However, the most important thing to keep in mind if you’re going to do this is to do it SAFELY! That means wear gloves and a brightly colored jacket or vest, and don’t walk too close to the road. Ideally do it with a friend or relative who can help keep an eye on traffic. Finally, if you send a picture of your clean up effort to the Green Committee (hebrongreencommittee@hebronct.com), we’ll choose one at random for a free pizza from one of Hebron’s great pizza emporiums. So let’s all use some of our pent up energy and get out there to help make Hebron a little greener this Earth Day!

Tax Abatement Program
Applications for property tax abatements are available to Hebron residents. There is a Town Ordinance that defers property taxes when those taxes exceed 8 percent of total household income from any source.
For example, if the total household income from any source totals $30,000, the property tax liability would be capped at $2,400. The abatement would be for any property taxes that exceeded $2,400. The abatements would apply to the upcoming tax year beginning July 1.
Under the ordinance, taxes that are abated would be repaid when a property is sold or transferred through probate. Abated taxes would accrue at an interest rate which is significantly less than what is charged for delinquent taxes (18 percent). The interest rate is currently 1.5 percent and is reviewed annually by the Board of Selectmen.
Persons who are interested in the program can request an application by calling the Town Manager’s Office. Applications will be mailed upon request. Call (860) 228-5971 for more information. The application deadline is June 1.
