Can I get a tax break if I can't afford my taxes?

If you are having trouble affording your taxes, you can file for an abatement from the time December tax bills are mailed up to March 1st of each year. 

The City of Berlin also has Elderly Exemptions and Blind Exemptions that you may apply for from the time December tax bills are mailed up to April 15th of each year. See the link for qualifications. 

The City of Berlin has a Veteran's Credit which can also be applied for from the time December tax bills are mailed up to April 15th of each year. See the link for qulifications.

At this time, we do not have an exemption for the Disabled. You may be eligilbe for a Elderly & Disabled Tax Deferral, which is a postponement of paying your taxes at a later date.
