Sullivan selectmen deny another abatement request SULLIVAN The Board of Selectmen Monday unanimously denied another abatement request at its regularly scheduled meeting. Henry Whitmore Jr. and Debra Whitmore requested that their property located along Route 1 be granted a property tax abatement, arguing that the property was unequally assessed, and that the assessment should reflect the market value. Selectman Roger Wakefield explained the property’s assessed value is $264,000, but the couple purchased the property for $164,000. “[The Whitmores want] us to change the valuation based on the sale price. Doesn’t work that way,” Wakefield said. As previously reported in The American, the board denied last June an abatement request by Deb and James Knowlton, who requested a change in their property tax assessment due to the approximately $340,000 disparity between their Route 1 property’s assessed value and its fair market appraisal.
