The town of Wilton is one of a few in the state to have passed Chapter 79-E Community Revitalization Tax Relief Incentive which states the property tax on a qualifying structure in our downtown village (see map), shall not increase as a result of its substantial rehabilitation. This gives both residential and commercial property owners the ability to upgrade and improve buildings within the designated downtown village target area without an immediate tax increase for five years.

 For more details and to apply for this incentive, click on this Application Form  After you complete the application, you will take part in a public hearing with the Select Board, and if approved, will execute a covenant with the town.  If you have any questions about the program of the application, please contact the Wilton Town Administrator at (603) 654-3299.
