East Longmeadow Board of Assessors Discusses Property Inspections and Proposed Exemption Changes
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the East Longmeadow Board of Assessors highlighted the ongoing cyclical inspection program and discussed proposed local option exemptions, which have been tabled until the town’s budget is further developed. The board also addressed routine fiscal reports and updates on motor vehicle excise commitments.
08:28The cyclical inspection program was a focal point of discussion. The board outlined that approximately 500 homes are scheduled for review, with inspections having started on March 25. A data collector will be conducting these inspections, which include both interior and exterior evaluations. Each homeowner has been notified via letter if their property is up for review. The program aims to ensure accurate property assessments by visiting homes that have not been inspected within the past decade, focusing initially on the northwest section of the town.
10:19Another topic was the proposed local option exemptions, Clause 22J and an amendment to Clause 41C. The board had previously recommended these to the Town Council. However, the council has tabled the discussion until the budget details are clearer. The board hopes to revisit the matter on April 22, depending on budget availability.
01:32Routine fiscal matters were also covered, including the approval of motor vehicle excise commitments, real estate abatements, and fiscal reports. The board noted that several abatements were processed due to new vehicle purchases, reflecting changes in the local vehicle market.
