It includes a required breakdown of the town’s value of assessed property for FY19 by property types as normally reported. The Board of Assessors, together with the other Town Officials, received timely certification from the Department of Revenue to set Fiscal year 2019 tax rate of $14.97 for Residential Property and $17.65 for Commercial, Industrial and Personal Property. The Assessor’s Office values all properties in the town every year in accordance with the state law that property valuations must be at 100% of market value. The next certification for the Town of Plainville will be in FY 2020. We will perform annual updates in the years leading up to the certification review. The values are certified by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue which consists of a review of procedures and approval of the required statistical analysis. Development continues to be very active in the Town of Plainville. During FY 2019, 16 new houses and 10 new condominiums came on the books. The Woods at Mirimichi and the Terry Lane Condominium Project were responsible for the majority of this growth. At the June 4, 2018 Town Meeting, the town voted to accept Chapter 44B of the Mass General Laws otherwise known as the Massachusetts Community Preservation Act. The amount of the surcharge will be 1% of the annual real estate tax levy beginning in Fiscal Year 2020. The Town also accepted several exemptions addressing this surcharge. Please contact the Assessor’s Office for information about the exemptions or any other information regarding the CPA surcharge. The Board would like to remind senior homeowners that they may apply for an exemption if they meet certain criteria. Eligibility includes meeting specific age, ownership, residency, income and asset requirements. There are also exemptions for eligible veterans, surviving spouses, and the legally blind. You may contact the Assessors for more information. Our office hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and Monday night 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The Board of Assessors welcomed new Board Member, Patricia Bergevine to the Town of Plainville Assessor’s Office. We hope Patricia will have a long association with this office.
