Public Disclosure of Fiscal Year 2026 Assessed Valuations
The Board of Assessors, in their commitment to providing full transparency, would like to announce that residential real estate assessed values for Fiscal Year 2026 valuations will be made available for public review beginning on September 12th, 2025, and ending on September 26th, 2025. This two-week disclosure period will provide the public with advanced notification of pending assessed valuations and the opportunity review this information prior to commitment for approval to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue – Division of Local Services.
The Board of Assessors’ primary objective and legal obligation is the full and fair cash valuation of all property to ensure the equitable distribution of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget approved at the Town Meeting in May 2025. Assessed valuations are adjusted to meet the Massachusetts Department of Revenue – Division of Local Service’s statistical valuation guidelines that ensure equitable valuations. Fiscal Year 2026 valuations were adjusted using arms-length real estate sales transactions that occurred within the calendar year 2024. The Fiscal Year 2026 Real Estate tax calculation cannot be provided at this time as the tax rate will not be established until the Tax Classification Hearing with the Carlisle Select Board.
The proposed valuations for Fiscal Year 2026 and the 2024 arms-length transactions are available on the town website in both PDF and Excel formats.
Taxpayers wishing to discuss their property value may visit the Carlisle Assessors Office, located on the second floor of Town Hall, during normal business hours (Monday through Thursday between 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and Friday between 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM) or contact the department by phone at (978) 369-0392.
Assessments are determined based on available data. If you feel there may be an error, please call or visit during these business hours. Once valuations are committed to DOR for approval, the remedy for correcting any valuation errors is through the annual abatement process.
