Veteran Property Tax Exemption Reminder:

Get involved with other Veterans in the Windsor area

All who have served, active, guard, reserve and retired, are invited to join a new group, the Greater Windsor Veterans Council, which meets monthly with the goal of creating social opportunities and increasing awareness of resources available to local Veterans of all ages. 

We are actively seeking new members!
