Property owners receive two tax bills within the year, a PRELIMINARY tax bill and an ACTUAL tax bill. Each bill includes two quarterly payments. The PRELIMINARY tax bill includes quarterly payments due on August 1 and November 1, your first and second quarter payments. The ACTUAL tax bill includes quarterly payments due on February 1 and May 1, quarters three and four.
 
The most recent tax bill that was mailed on Friday, June 28th is the PRELIMINARY tax bill and is also referred to as an estimated tax bill. The bill is based on the previous (calendar) year assessment of your property and the previous year’s tax rate. This bill also includes the new Community Preservation Act (CPA) tax which was voted on to be adopted in last November’s election. 

If you have not received your tax bill by July 12, 2024, please call the city Treasurer’s Office at 978-388-8105.
