The assessor's office is responsible for insuring equitable assessments, which distribute the Town's tax burden in accordance with state statutes. Assessments are based on fair market value of property and are applied in a fair, equitable and consistent manner. Your assessing office strives to provide the best possible customer service. Information regarding: assessments, tax exemptions, tax credits, tax deferrals, current use assessments, conservation restriction assessments, discretionary easements, abatement requests, and timber tax is available through this office. Physical data on buildings and land, as well as deed and property ownership information can also be found in this office. Just click on the links to the right for more information.
Property owners may request that their property tax card information be completely removed from the Town website OR to have only the photograph of their property removed. This can be accomplished by contacting the Assessing Office at 868-8064.
