Community Preservation Plan Special Informational Session

Event Date: 
Tuesday, May 24, 2022 - 5:00pm

Marbletown is creating a Community Preservation Plan which becomes the basis 
for a Community Preservation Fund, created by local law, and used by the Town to collect a one-time transfer tax on real estate transactions, paid by the buyer. 
This fund can be used to preserve community character, which can include the preservation of open space and agricultural and forested land; the establishment of parks, nature preserves, and recreation areas; and the conservation of properties with scenic value and historic resources. 
To become law, the Real Estate Tax Transfer (RETT) will need to be adopted as a referendum on the ballot in November and voted on by the community. These are the upcoming meetings in Marbletown to discuss it (go to the Town site for more info):
