The Board of Assessors is responsible for placing a value on all land, buildings and personal property in the town. A value is placed on each real estate parcel in the town as of January 1 of each year. That value is used to calculate the tax due for the following fiscal year, beginning July 1.
For the fiscal year, FY2012, beginning July 1, 2011 the tax rates are:
For residential property and open space: $14.93 per $1000 of value
For commercial and industrial property: $25.05 per $1000 of value
The total tax due for the year is billed in four installments with due dates of:
August 1 |
November 1 |
February 1 |
May 1 |
Please note: The dates above are the dates by which the payment must be received by the Collector. They are not postmark dates.
The fiscal year FY2012 begins July 1, 2011
Because the tax rate is usually not set until the late fall of each year, the first two tax bills are estimates based on the bill for the previous fiscal year. Once the tax rate is set, the final two bills are adjusted so the total bill for the year is correct.
FY2013 rates will be posted here as soon as they are available.
