Town Helps Residents to Stay
March 21, 2024
• Property taxes can be a burden on some residents, and to help those who are elderly or have a disability, the Town of Needham created tax relief funds.

There is a way you can help–actually a couple of ways, as Michael Niden, a member of the Needham Board of Assessors, shared with News Producer Ashley Julier.
