Assessors

It is the job of the Board of Assessors to assess all Real and Personal Property at Market Value. The Department of Revenue certifies this every three years. The Assessors Office generates the bulk of the revenue for the Town of Easton through Real Estate Taxes. The Real Estate bills are mailed twice a year with payment due August 1st, November 1st, February 1st, and May 1st. The Fiscal Year runs from July 1st through June 30th. Easton adopted June 30th as the assessment date and also adopted the law concerning supplemental assessments on new construction.

FY2010 Real Estate Tax Rate: $13.49

July 12, 2010 - The Easton Assessors’ Office is in the process of doing cyclical inspections of real estate properties throughout the town and assessing inspections for all recently filed building permits. The inspections are being done over the next several months with inspectors and a lister hired by the town going door-to-door throughout neighborhoods to do inspections of both the interior and exterior of properties. The Department of Revenue requires that every community re-inspect its real estate periodically. As a result, the Easton Board of Assessors inspects some of its property every year. In addition to meeting state requirements, the objective of this project is to assure the accuracy of the Town’s assessing data. The inspectors/lister, Robert Alford, Ann Williams and Rosemary Dalton, will have Town identification with his or her photograph on it and will not inspect the interior of the property unless a person age 18 or older is present. If no one is available for the interior inspection, a notice will be left on the doorknob requesting that the resident call the Assessors’ Office at 508-230-0520 to set up appointment to view the property’s interior.
