CURRENT INSPECTIONS (2024)
Building permit and 10-year cyclical inspections will start in March 2024. Building permit inspections will continue until late June and cyclical inspections will continue for the remainder of the year.
All businesses are subject to inspection for Business Personal Property to verify equipment in use and the assets listed in your Form of List. Inspections will begin in January 2024 and continue through the Spring/Summer for FY25.
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, please contact the Assessor's office at 508-543-1215.
