About the Assessor's Office
The Assessors as mandated by the Massachusetts legislature via the Department of
Revenue must determine the value of all real and personal property located
within the City of New Bedford for taxation purposes. By law, all
property must be assessed at its full and fair cash value as of the first of
each year. The values must be submitted every three years to the
Department of Revenue for certification.
In the years between certification, Assessors must also maintain the values.
They must review sales, and the market every year, and thereby reassess values
each year. |
