Letters and applications are being mailed out this week to previous applicants as Cumberland lays the groundwork for its annual senior tax assistance program in early August.
To be eligible for the program, residents 70 or older must have lived in Cumberland for a minimum of 10 years and have an annual household income that does not exceed $91,000.
A staff member will review applications at Cumberland Town Hall from 9-11 a.m. Aug. 1-2, and from 1-4 p.m. Aug. 3. Residents should bring their application and a 2021 tax filing or 1099 or another form to document income. Renters must also include a copy of their lease.
Questions may be directed to Whitney Miller at 558-9124 or wmiller@cumberlandmaine.com.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
