• October 03,2013

   

  KILLINGTON — Killington residents will head to the polls next month to vote on a property-tax exemption for the fire department.
  
  Tuesday night, the Select Board unanimously approved a motion to warn a vote to renew the tax-exempt status of Killington Fire and Rescue. The department is currently exempt from paying taxes on the property it occupies, but that exemption expires at the end of the year.
  
  Per state statute, residents must approve the property-tax exemption every five years.
  
  There will be an informational meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Town Offices. Residents will return to the Town Offices to vote Nov. 5. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Residents have until 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30 to register to vote.
