Belmont Country Club granted $337K tax abatement

The state Appellate Tax Board ruled in February that Belmont owes the Belmont Country Club roughly $337,000 in refunds on two Winter Street parcels for fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023, plus 8% annual interest. Board of Assessors Chair Roy Epstein said the implication for town tax revenue is significant, and the Select Board has discussed how to proceed in recent executive sessions. Select Board Chair Taylor Yates said the town is "considering the full range of options"; a club representative declined to comment.
