Auditor seeks<br />

input on reappraisal<br />

process<br />

As we approach <strong>2023</strong>, your auditor’s<br />

office is completing a monumental undertaking<br />

- the Mass Property Reappraisal,<br />

during which the office reappraises every<br />

property in the county to determine appropriate<br />

current values.<br />

As we conduct the reappraisal, as<br />

required by state law, I am dedicated to<br />

leading an office with programs and initiatives<br />

that will help existing homeowners<br />

afford to stay in their neighborhoods as<br />

well as promote more affordable housing.<br />

The auditor’s office wants to engage residents<br />

and make them an integral part of<br />

the reappraisal process, ensuring their<br />

voices are heard about their home values.<br />

For the first time ever, the office is conducting<br />

a Neighborhood Survey, where<br />

residents tell us about their neighborhoods<br />

to help appraisers assign more accurate<br />

home valuations. No one understands a<br />

neighborhood better than the people who<br />

live in it, and in seeking the direct input of<br />

residents before tentative value are established,<br />

the auditor’s office seeks to eliminate<br />

bias in the reappraisal process.<br />

After appraisers have determined tentative<br />

values in the fall of <strong>2023</strong>, the office<br />

will again offer opportunities, both in-person<br />

and virtual for Informal Value Review<br />

sessions, where homeowners who feel their<br />

values are too low or too high can have<br />

one-on-one meetings with auditor’s office<br />

appraisers. You’ll hear more about these<br />

sessions throughout the year.<br />

The auditor’s office will continue to<br />

serve Franklin County residents and businesses<br />

with forward-thinking initiatives<br />

and programs that help make our community<br />

the very best place to live and work. I<br />

look forward to engaging with the community<br />

throughout <strong>2023</strong> and taking the<br />

opportunity to help Franklin County residents<br />

as we complete the reappraisal.<br />
