Public Disclosure of Proposed Fiscal Year 2025 Valuations
The Barre Board of Assessors is pleased to announce a period of public disclosure of proposed fiscal year 2025 property values pending final certification from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. The new Fiscal 2025 property values, as determined under a general reassessment program, have been submitted for certification. State mandated reassessment programs are undertaken every five years to adjust property valuations and interim year adjustments are made within the previous four years. Property valuations are adjusted to reflect the arms-length sales prices from 2023 and 2022 and are adjusted by category of use. These adjustments also reflect the replacement cost new of buildings, and other factors. These updated values reflect the estimated full market value of the properties as of the valuation date of January 1, 2024. The average value adjustments are listed below as percentages by property class:
Single Family Homes: + 4.28%
Two/Three Family Homes: + 4.75%
Condominiums: + 101.85%
Apartments: + 20.16%
