Notice: Additional Property Record Cards- Full Access

Please note, the full property record card is now available on our AXIS GIS system.  This includes all building permit and sketch information.

Annual Inspection Program

Routine cyclical and sales inspections continue throughout the year. Permits and abatements inspections are completed in the Spring. 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 staff and vehicles unless special projects are underway in which case consultants are hired. If we use consultants, we will post the identification information here for vehicles and personnel.   

Any questions or concerns, please contact the Assessor's office at 508-376-7049.
