M.G.L. Chapter 60, Section 3D, permits municipalities in the Commonwealth to establish an elderly and disabled taxation fund program. This program allows taxpayers to voluntarily donate an amount of money in conjunction with their municipal or motor vehicle excise tax bills, or through donation, toward a fund for the purpose of defraying the real estate taxes of elderly and/or disabled Dunstable residents of low income. The donations are deposited into a special account in the Town's treasury and distributed according to the eligibility criteria developed by the Committee. Contributions are collected through voluntary donations made by Dunstable residents, businesses and community groups. The amount of relief available is dependent on the amount available in fund, and the number of eligible applicants. Applications are due by February 2^nd, annually, and can be found on the Tax Aid Committee page on the Town website.
