The Town of Amherst in undergoing a cyclical inspection review, as required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts [MGL Chapter 59]. This program requires all assessing jurisdictions to update their records by inspecting all properties within a ten (10) year cycle. The cyclical review is for all types of properties including single family, two family, condos, commercial industrial, and apartments.
To be in full compliance the town will inspect all properties that have not been visited recently. Our inspectors will have identification.
This inspection is designed to provide us with accurate information on the condition of the property. Such information is essential to establishing fair, equitable, and uniform values throughout the town. To successfully complete our inspection program in a timely manner, the Board of Assessors must rely on and request your cooperation.
Inspectors will be working throughout Town beginning in April through the end of the calendar year (through December 2024).
Inspectors will visit the property and if we find no one home, or arrive at a time that is truly inconvenient for you, we will complete an exterior inspection and measure the building. We will leave a call back card as a reminder to call our office to schedule an interior inspection. The interior inspection should take fifteen (15) minutes or less. Failure to allow a complete inspection will force the Board of Assessors to estimate the interior condition of the property.
