FISCAL 2012 REAL ESTATE TAX BILLS  MAILED

DUE APRIL 2, 2012

Fiscal year 2012 tax bills were mailed the last week in December. If you have not received a bill, please contact the Collector’s Office, 978-464-2101.

This bill shows the owner of record on January 1, 2011.  It also has the assessed valuation of your property, the tax rate and the amount of property taxes you owe for the fiscal year, including any special assessments or other charges that are added to the tax. The tax bill will also show the amount of the preliminary tax billed earlier as a credit against your actual tax for the year. The balance of your tax must be paid by April 2, 2012.

LATE PAYMENTS
Under the preliminary tax payment system, interest on late tax payments will be charged for the number of days that the payment is actually delinquent. For example, if the actual tax is due on April 2nd and it is not timely paid, interest will be charged from April 2nd until the date the payment is made.

ABATEMENTS
Once the actual tax bills are mailed the end of December, you may file an abatement application with the Board of Assessors if you wish to contest your assessment. Applications for abatements must be filed on or before April 2, 2012.  Abatement forms may be picked up at the Town Hall, or they are available on the Town of Princeton web site, town.princeton.ma.us

EXEMPTIONS
All other exemption applications are due the same date as abatement applications. ~Abatement and Exemption forms may be picked up at the Town Hall, or they are available on the Town of Princeton web site, town.princeton.ma.us

If you have additional questions, please contact the Collector's Office for questions on payments, 978-464-2101 or the Assessors’ Office, 978-464-2104 for questions about valuations.
