The Town of Windsor has launched a new Grocery Sales Tax Rebate Program to help income-qualifying residents manage rising food costs. Eligible households can receive up to $250 per year to reimburse the Windsor sales tax paid on grocery purchases made within town limits.
“As grocery prices continue to increase, every bit counts for many families,” said Windsor Mayor Julie Cline. “This program helps residents stretch their budgets a little further.”
Town Manager Shane Hale added, “It’s a small but meaningful way we can support our community’s well-being.”
What You Need to Know:
- Annual rebate limit: $250 per household
- Eligible purchases: Groceries from Windsor-based stores or delivery services (no alcohol/tobacco)
