We have a married couple that own property in Groton and property in Orange.  Both names are on both deeds.  They claim two homesteads and get homestead tax rate on both.  Have never been able to get the Tax Dept to do a thing about it.  Doesn't seem right to me.

  Question of the day:  We have a married couple in town, they own two houses.  She lives in one and he lives in the other.  Can they get the residential rate on both.  The two houses are owned jointly by both per the deeds. Sherry/ Burke Listers Office
