Town Assessors Explain Assessment Calculations

Board of Selectmen request this presentation for property owners

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Based on a request from the Board of Selectmen, officials from the Assessor’s Office will give a presentation about how assessments are calculated for commercial and residential properties on Monday, March 2, 2009 at 7 p.m. in Nevins Hall. The public is welcome to attend this event and will be allowed to ask questions about the assessing and abatement process.

Nevins Hall was selected as the site for the public hearing since it has a seating capacity of about 1,500 so that a large crowd can be comfortably accommodated. Residents and business owners can take advantage of this opportunity to attend on a proactive basis. The economy could decline further, which could cause more concern about a possible disparity between assessments and market values next year.

Attend and be educated about how your home or business property is assessed.
