Assessor

The Town Assessor is responsible for listing and determining the value of all real and personal property within the town. Real property includes land and improvements permanently attached to land. Personal property is all property not classified as real. For example, business equipment, unregistered motor vehicles, snow mobiles, etc.

An Assessor Field Card is maintained on each property in town. They are updated daily to assure the most recent data available. To view your Field Card on Totalvaluation Services, LLC, please click on this link.

The Assessor's office is responsible for the administration of certain tax relief programs for the elderly, totally disabled, and military veterans. We also accept applications to classify land as farm, forest, or open space.

The Grand List shows all taxable and tax-exempt property as of October 1st annually.

Assessors need to be certified in order to sign the Grand List. Certification can only be obtained after passing a comprehensive exam. A person is eligible to take the exam after successful completion of 5 courses and a minimum of 4 years experience in the assessment field.
