BOARD OF ASSESSORS
As assessors, we are required by Massachusetts law to value
all real and personal property within our community. We value
every property from single-family residences, to the largest
commercial and industrial enterprises. We do this ourselves
along with one staff employee, our clerk Keri-Ann Wenzel, who
continues to do a superb job. Every three years we hire a
professional appraisal firm to verify our values and submit them
to the state Department of Revenue for certification. This was
done in 2011 and we received a timely certification of our values.
The total of assessed values for the Town of Granby for fiscal
year 2012 (which began July 1, 2011) is $572,729,524, of which
$8,719,152 represents new growth, an increase of 15% from FY
2011. Residential value for FY 12 is $525,791,575 and the
Commercial/Industrial value is $28,257,925. Personal Property
value stands at approx $18,680,024.
The average value (total value divided by the number of
single-family homes) is $228,758, which decreased $4,729 from
2010. The median value (mid range of values) is $208,800,
which also decreased $2,100 from 2010.
