Open Space Tax Abatement Program

The Town of New Hartford’s Open Space Tax Abatement program is a new initiative that has been developed as an additional tool that may be used to permanently preserve key parcels of land.  It allows the Town to abate a property owner’s taxes over a period of time in exchange for preservation of the land in perpetuity.  There is a formal application process and certain criteria must be met.
