Real estate & personal property tax bills are mailed out quarterly (4 times a year)
1st qtr. bill mailed July 1 and due August 1
2nd qtr. bill mailed October 1 and due November 1
3rd qtr. bill mailed January 1 and due February 1
4th qtr. bill mailed April 1 and due May 1
The 1st and 2nd qtr. bills are always preliminary bills based on the last years actual bill.
The 3rd and 4th qtr. bills are actual bills based on the recap and the budget being passed on time and a tax rate being set. You will also find year old delinquent water and sewer bills added to the 3rd qtr. actual real estate bill as mandated by Massachusetts General Law.
Abatements and exemptions are applied to the February and May bills.
If you think you may be entitled to an abatement or exemption, you can contact the Assessor’s office at 978-620-3190.
