HD 163 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to municipal property tax reform

HD 163 allows cities and towns to form regional boards of assessors to replace local boards. Participating municipalities must sign a written agreement covering shared costs, staffing, reporting, and governance. The regional board handles all property valuation work for member communities, with local assessors' roles ending once the agreement takes effect. This reform aims to streamline property tax administration by enabling collaborative management of valuation duties across multiple municipalities.
