Fee Waiver 

The Fee Waiver ordinance provides for a reduction in the fee(s) paid for designated Town services for residents who meet specific income guidelines. The goal of this ordinance is to improve access to the services offered by the Town to all residents, regardless of their ability to pay. Your adjusted gross family or household income, and the size of your family determine eligibility for the waiver.  Please visit our Fee Waiver Ordinance page here for more information and application guidelines.
