INSPECTIONS program (on-going)
Routine cyclical and sales inspections continue throughout the year. Verification of property changes is a large part of the assessment and valuation process. These inspections help ensure fair cash value on all properties in town per MGL CH59, S38. These inspections provide the most accurate data to produce assessments. Without the proper inspections, the assessment is estimated based on available building permit data and other sources.
We appreciate your cooperation when completing these inspections and creating fair and equitable assessments for all taxpayers. Inspections are completed all year mostly by town identified vehicles with department staff unless special projects are underway.
Any questions or concerns on any of these items please contact the Assessor's office at 508-543-1215.
