The Assessing Department may require an owner or lessee of personal property to provide certain information in writing, as may be reasonably necessary, to determine the actual fair cash valuation of the property. Failure to comply with the request within 30 days will bar any appeal of the tax assessed, unless the owner or lessee was unable to comply with the request for reasons beyond his or her control. Any false statement that is knowingly made will also bar the taxpayer from any statutory appeal.
Questions about valuation or abatement requests can be directed to the Assessor's Office at 978-568-9622. Questions about payments or balances can be directed to the Tax Collector's Office at 978-568-9610 or by email.
