Tax Assessor

The Assessor's Office was granted a one month extension to complete the Grand List.  The deadline to file
an appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals was extended to March 20, 2025 and is now closed. Personal property assessment notices were mailed prior to March 10, 2025.

If you are interested to know what your car tax will be in July 2025, a list of preliminary net assessments is located under the Motor Vehicle Assessment Information tab, in the Attached Files section at the bottom of the page.  The assessments are net, after all exemptions have been applied.  The mill rate for the 2024 Grand List has not been set as of the date of this writing.  Please note that some motor vehicles show an assessment of 0. This may be because the net assessment after exemptions is 0 or that a vehicle remains to be priced by the Assessor (mostly, commercial vehicles).
