Senior Tax Work Off Program

If you are a senior citizen over the age of 60, you can apply for the senior work off program. The program will allow you to earn up to $2,000.00 per year to be taken off your taxes. You must be a homeowner. You will earn $15.00 an hour working for a town department. The amount of hours you work can not exceed 133 hours, and the earnings are directly applied to your real estate tax bill. We try to match you up with your choice.  For more information or for an application please call 508-885-7546 or you can print attachment from below. Income guidelines apply from January 1 through March 31 only. After April 1, the program is open to all Spencer Seniors. The abatement for the program is applied to the tax bill for the January 1 date but is credited half towards the bill due on February 1 and half applied to the bill due May 1.

Note: Council on Aging director implements this program. There is no guarantee you will be able to work all, if any, hours. Assignments are strictly up to the need of the department heads. We do our best to make sure everyone gets hours.
