Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito Announces Senior Tax Relief Programs for Full Time Residents

Following the successful passage of Mayor Esposito’s FY 2023-2024 Proposed Budget, the Mayor announced additional tax relief programs for full time Danbury Seniors and the permanently disabled.

“As your Mayor, I care deeply about the struggles our seniors face living on a fixed income. These members of our community need to be celebrated for their significant contributions to the success of Danbury. That’s why it’s so important to provide senior tax relief programs as we continue to make historic investments in our education system, public safety and infrastructure priorities. Our senior tax relief programs help ease the burden on our seniors and allow them to continue to enjoy our incredible city. I’d encourage all seniors to take advantage of these programs by contacting our Assessor’s Office before the May 15th deadline.” said Mayor Dean Esposito
