The Barnstable Bulletin A MONTHLY TOWN OF BARNSTABLE NEWSLETTER July 2015

From the Town Manager Dear Reader:

The Town of Barnstable celebrates the July 4th holiday in grand fashion each year. It provides a wonderful opportunity for all of us to remember how fortunate we are to live in America. We celebrate in each of our seven villages in unique and special ways thanks to contributions of hundreds of dedicated volunteers. I thank the civic, village and business associations and each one of you who help make the July 4th holiday so special.

I hope that your busy schedule will allow you and your family to enjoy the myriad of events this month from our annual Fireworks Display to the many Arts and Cultural events happening in Barnstable. This issue of the Barnstable Bulletin includes those events that will help you celebrate America’s independence. You may also view the information on-line at www.town.barnstable.ma.us.

Wishing you and your family a Happy and Safe July 4th Holiday,

Tom Lynch

Don’t forget to put those new tags on your dog. All dogs need their new tags on as of July 1. If you have not purchased a new dog license – come on down to the Town Clerk’s office, or send your request and check by mail. Remember, beginning August 1, 2015, a new license will cost you more money due to a late fee of $5.00 on top of the cost of your license. So save your money and take care of this now!

Our office is gearing up for the fall elections. This year come on out to vote for the School Committee (3 seats), the Town Collector, the Housing Authority (2 seats) and in the odd number precincts you will be voting for your Town Council representation.

If you are a registered voter, hopefully you filled out your census this year because that form is a voter confirmation certificate as well. By the Federal law you must confirm annually that you are still at your residence.

That is one of the major reasons we send out the census/voter confirmation form. If you don’t return your census – it is assumed by our Central Voter Registry system that you are not there. Therefore, you can become inactivated. That means when you go to vote in November you may have to show current ID and fill out a form to prove you still live at that address (driver’s licenses are sufficient for the ID portion).

If you want to confirm your residency/voter status you can stop by our office or call 508-862-4044.

If you have moved, even within the town of Barnstable, you need to inform the Town Clerk’s office so we can update your voter information. Remember every vote does count, and we want to count your vote!

As a reminder, we still have some of the 375th celebration items for sale in the Town Clerk’s office, so stop on by to see us and perhaps purchase a few of the 375th items we have for sale.

Have a great summer,

Ann M Quirk, CMC, Town Clerk

7 News You Can Use An Update from the Assessing Department:

The month of July brings heat and humidity to the Cape but it also begins the period to apply for all the types of tax exemptions for Fiscal Year 2016.

The qualification date required by the elderly, blind and veterans exemptions is July 1 of the fiscal year, every year. Each exemption has its own specific requirements for qualification and the applications and qualification requirements are available on our assessor’s webpage on the Town’s website, at the Department of Revenue website or at our front counter. The residential exemption has a different qualifying date of January 1 prior to the fiscal year being applied for. For example, to qualify for the upcoming FY2016 residential exemption, if adopted by the Town Council again, you must first own and occupy your property as of January 1, 2015 and then file the application and documentation on or after July 1, 2015. All exemptions received and qualified by the Board of Assessors by the end of October will be reflected on your actual tax bill, normally issued at the end of December.

The issue that causes the most problems with qualifying for any of these exemptions is missing documentation that supports the application. In the case of the elderly exemption it is usually incomplete income and asset information that requires our staff to contact the applicant to request the missing information and that delays qualification and sometimes causes denials. So, if applying, be sure to completely read the instructions, fill out the applications and supply copies of the required information prior to submitting it to this office. Also, the blind, elderly and veterans exemptions require a new application every fiscal year while the residential exemption only has to be done once or until the ownership status changes. If you fail to apply within the statutory times outlined above in any one year, the Board of Assessors has no authority to grant the exemption for that year, regardless of otherwise being qualified.

If you have any questions when working with these applications, please call the Assessor’s Office at 508-862-4022 and we’ll be happy to answer them to ensure that you receive the exemption you’re entitled to in a timely manner.

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS According to the Cape Cod Emergency Preparedness Handbook: “Of all the natural disasters that might affect Cape Cod, hurricanes have the potential to cause the most property damage and loss of life if adequate planning and preparation is not undertaken.” There is much you can do to better prepare yourself and your loved ones in the event we experience a significant weather emergency. In general, it is recommended that you do the following at the onset of Hurricane Season (officially started June 1st) here on Cape Cod: 1. Make a disaster plan for yourself, your family and your pets. Be sure you review it carefully with all members of your family. 2. Compile a Disaster Survival Kit. 3.
